first of all, look up devil's advocate. you need to know the rules in order to play.
then, try looking at the states that have carry laws and see which have strict rules concerning the weapons. furthermore, the amount of ILLEGAL handgun ownership has risen, and those weapons are used for ILLEGAL means. the weapon, with a trigger lock, that is locked in the safe with the ammunition in a different place is a legal weapon and does not add to crime statistics. the illegal weapon does. people can and do buy weapons in retail stores - why aren't those weapons being used for illegal means?
