Mace? A taser? We have the technology to disable a person without doing permanent injury, or killing someone. The self-defense argument is ridiculous. Think about it. If guns were legal, why would he be holding a knife? He would, in all likelihood, have a gun himself. Now you have a 22 year old male with a gun already drawn and pointed at you while the lady would be fumbling in her purse to get her own out. Who is the winner there?

Yes, weapons are a deterrent to bad governments. But do we necessarily have to keep guns in a home, do we have to let the general public have access to guns at all times? Couldn't we store them in a local privately owned armory? Couldn't we ban people from owning guns outright, yet have a way to make it available in times of crisis?
