37. I don't think that more guns in the hands of citizens is the answer
I don't think we should be deterred from anti-proliferation efforts just because some criminal enterprise has sucessfully resisted. I don't believe that we have made a enough of an effort in that regard. I would support a nationwide ban on handguns. I don't think we'll see it, but I would support it.

Self-defense for the weak and poor? Brother!
