Just to be clear: I will grant that a handgun ban will probably result in decreased gun violence AND decreased overall violence and deaths. They wont all grab a knife instead, I do agree that having a handgun may make it more likely for some people to shoot in a flash of rage. Banning guns probably will result in fewer deaths overall. Despite all that, I disagree with increased gun control or any form of handgun ban. Handgun ownership and legalization comes with a price that must occasionally be paid in blood. No matter what, crazy people and hotheads will always have a gun if its widely available. And trying to dismiss that with "oh, they'd just stab instead" is not really intellectually honest in my mind. We should stop fooling ourselves, accept the fact that the freedoms we have re: gun ownership means more violence, and state clearly that though we can try to minimize the violence without infringing on our freedoms, we are OK with paying that price because giving up handgun ownership is unacceptable.

Yea US gun ownership is probably not as relevant now a days in preventing an invasion but it damn sure has been in the past. Anyone who doesn't get that probably fails to understand how Europe fell so easy in WWII.

If they would have banned guns along time ago OJ would never have used his gun to stab Nicole.

Because there's no way a 6'1", 240+ lb linebacker could kill his girlfriend without a gun.
