Reply #233: You wouldn't be saying that

[Popol Vuh]

If you were visiting me when I had to defend myself against two home invaders. If I hadn't had a gun with me the 911 operator who I was on the phone with couldn't have done anything to help me. I am alive today because of the right to keep and bare arms. The ability to defend yourself is a basic human right.

Anyone who believes that outlawing guns will solve the issue of gun crime (not that I am saying you're suggesting that), only need look at the black market for drugs. You will only accomplish restricting access to law abiding people and create another black market for criminals. And even a scarier thought is, the criminals will know this too.
