But gun control only takes guns away from the victims. It doesn't take guns away from the criminals. Fact of life.
Au contraire. Gun control makes it harder to buy guns, legally or illegally. That decreases the number of guns available to both criminals and victims. So they use knives and bombs instead, not guns.
If we had guns when we were held up, and tried to use them, we would be dead. We were approached by two armed men, one from the side and one behind us. There's no way we could have gotten our guns out before being shot. We were unarmed and cooperative. We didn't get shot.
I'm proficient with both rifles and guns. Took a 3-month course from the military at a local armory in Philly. I have no interest in hunting [except when necessary, but not as a "sport"] or carrying a loaded weapon. I studied Akido and traditional Karate instead. Gave away the rifles. I have two hunting slingshots [and slingshot monkey and pig].
