First off, no one is above the law and its still illegal to kill someone, no matter what it is. Only in Texas is it ok to protect yourself, and only in your "castle".

What if others had guns? So then it turns into a shoot out with untrained amatures with big guns, shooting at eachother? whos the bad guy? Whos the good guy? How many MORE people die? No one is above the law, and no one there has the right to kill another human.
The cops had guns, and the guy killed a half dozen without a single shot fired by trained professionals. So if cops, an organized group of law enforcement officers didnt fire a single round to end it, what gives regular people the right to do so? And whos to say that people will be ok mentally about taking another life? COD video games are one thing, but in real life, could you? Sure, you can say it now, but Im sure that anyone here that has taken a life has had training. Your average member here would hesitate at teh moment and would end up dying themselves.

Look, Im just playing the aspect of the anti-gun person. I belive that everyoen has the right to own a gun. I dont belive that everyone needs to CARRY the damn thing, or that people need sub machine guns with drums of ammo. I dont see the need to have a .50 sniper rifle be legalized. I belive in a reformed gun control, and that people should be educated and not just be shunned. But gun control is like sex education, there is general idea of how things are done, but not one is really sure what the hell is going on.
It leads to a larger and greater problem.
IMO, if it was Pres Big Al at the podium, gun control would be on the back burner for a long time. Gun contorl is a distraction issue IMO. No one will take them away 100%, but no one is gunna give you 100% access to everything.
It will be in the gray area forever. Education is 10003403284032804 more important then the right to own a AR-15 with a 50 round drum with night vision, supressor, and colapsable stock.
