Well fellows its quite simple. The more guns that are "distributed" through out society, the greater the chance of a gun falling into the hands of someone irresponsible, demented, hateful, sadistic, mentally incompetent, vindictive, psychotic, revengeful, sadistic, suicidal.... and then we have Columbine, VA Tech, Sandy Hook, et al. I have four year old grandchildren. I can't imagine them having to face a psycho-nut who happen to find his father's stash of automatic weapons. I can't imagine my daughter - a teacher - having to "arm" herself in her classroom. There are too many guns in our society and they find there way into the hands of the wrong people.
