@ kiddo, I can identify with your emotions and your desire to own a gun. But owning a gun definitely does not make the world a safer place. Rapes are also increasing and so are drunk drivers. But if they were made legal, then we would have a catastrophe to deal with, would we not?. Yes these incidents would increase, just like facebook users are increasing. But if facebook was not banned in China, the users would have been another billion more. (I am not against facebook am using an example to answer your question) So yes banning or making something illegal will make something less, not more. That is why we have law and order, to make crimes less. We have Australia and UK to show that after gun control laws, there are no such massacres there as compared to the usa. But yes, I do understand where you are coming from but still less guns out there, the safer our life becomes is something that we will all have to agree.
