What I am saying is that when the people are disarmed they are at the mercy of criminals and tyrants who historically have killed FAR more people than the gun owning law-abiding public.

It's not rocket science. Read your history.

yes, read history. First they give themselves power, then they take your guns, then they squash human rights and freedom.

Guns are tools, just like hammers. Guns don't shoot themselves... just like hammers don't swing themselves.

Violent crime increases in areas with low gun ownership. This makes sense because who has guns if laws forbid guns? Only Criminals and cops, and we all know cops don't actively prevent crime, they only respond!

Look at Detroit...second highest murder rate, considered most dangerous US city. Guess what, they have some of the most restrictive gun laws. So again, criminals don't care. :\
