Gun laws only effect he people willing to obey them, so taking all guns away will only effect the do gooders. So why stack the field against the good guy? Why not level the field and let the competent law abiding citizen protect himself from the evils out there? If you want to talk real society, there is no way to believe that if guns are gone that all evil men are also gone. Then you need to outlaw sticksrocks knifes and any other object that can be used for bad if that is your thinking. Its not an idea of putting more guns out there, its a idea of putting more there in good hands than bad. Back ground checks are just that, they don't tell the future. If you are competent and have no reason forme to believe that you wil use a gun for anything unlawful I believe you should have he right to protect yourself and your family.
