but from time to time there are people who need killing.

If someone were to break into your home and begin raping your children, after you asked them, "Pretty please, stop!" and they didn't what are your options? Call 911, so the police can eventually come draw chalk outlines around their broken corpses?

Would you meekly acquiesce while they choke the life out of you, or scream claw and bite in futility?

Hate guns all you want, you will never be able to gather them all up and melt them all down. There are plenty of folks do precision metal work as a hobby. Do you think the guy who for entertainment builds a quarter scale steam engine in his garage doesn't have the skill to build a machine gun just as easily?

Now, if your intent is to keep guns away from bad people, I will work to help you. But if your approach is to write rules only the good people have to obey I will oppose you as you are merely an enabler for the most evil criminals among us. All your misplaced loathing does is ensure is that evil-doers will have a monopoly on guns and no end of defenseless victims.
