Here in the US, most gun crimes are committed in places with the most stringent gun laws. Weapons get smuggled right through our border anyway as well. So a ban doesn't stop gun runners or their clients from obtaining them & using them. An armed society is a polite society. Better to have it & not need it than need it & not have it. They are just a tool. The equalize imbalances between attackers & victims & most gun purchases in the last few years were by women.

I totally appreciate that your motive is to keep your loved one's safe but to be armed to the teeth isn't going to help. Western Europe is far safer without everyone being armed because escalation becomes the default

Yo Adrian. If you appreciated his motive to keep his family safe you would support everyone's right to keep and bear arms. And since that is the law and a fundamental natural right under our political system - and an important key against government tyranny just who are you to even think you can deny other Americans their rights to protect themselves in every way a government agent or a criminal can protect themselves? Are you seeking to overthrow our system of government by the People? Sounds like it to me.
