I Think That When Guns Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Gun [Pro Gun]

Taking the guns of innocent people won't create less crime; it will just damage a industry and strip people of a way to protect their home.

A criminal will find a way to get a weapon.

As long as the person is sane of mind and cares/stores for their weapon properly; I don't see the problem.

Spot on. In the gun control debate, the topic of DGUs (defensive gun use) -intentionally avoided. Gun control advocates have buried the CDC study that estimates there are as many as 2.5 million DGUs annually. The doesn't mean the gun was fired. A DGU can be a situation where a gun is brandished to thwart a threat. Other groups have attempted to estimate annual DGUs...low end is 100,000. Bottom line, guns are used to stop crime far more often than they are used to commit a crime.
