Lets not hurt ourselves - Gun Control

[XenaAmazon]

18. Prohibition proved to be a disaster in this country

"Do the people who advocate such measures completely fail to understand that those actions would result in widespread violence that makes our current problem with gun violence look like Mister Rogers' Neighborhood? I just shake my head... "

Can you cite ANY evidence for that? Taking your statement to its logical conclusion, the US should be the safest country on earth.

You are not seriously attempting to tell us that the only thing keeping "them" from "us" is your guns? REALLY???

I can point to a number of countries, just like ours, who have strict gun control. They have LESS violence, not more. It's insane to say that but for firearms we would be living in anarchy. That makes about as much sense as those who claim that without a belief in god, people have no moral compass.

Having grown up in a crime ridden neighborhood in the most dangerous area in NJ, I can tell you the best deterrent is a dog. Not a gun, which studies have demonstrated more often gets turned around & used against the owner.
