>>You can certainly ensure that law abiding citizens do not have guns but what about the criminals? Wouldn't the end effect be that only the criminals would have guns?

>Well the police, the army, hunters, and civilians that have a licence for sport, and criminals would have a gun.

>>That is probably the fear of most Americans who support the right to own a gun.

>It would be the fear of any citizen up here that everyone could purchase a gun and walk on the streets with them, because accidents will happen. Tracy, you are the master of popping up links for statistics, so maybe you could get some statistics on how many of the murdered people, killed by guns, were killed by just criminals, and how many were killed by apparantly normal people like you and me?
>
>>How do you stop criminals from purchasing them on the street? How do you stop the illegal import and sale of firearms? Afterall, that has been the problem with drugs for years...
>
>You can't, just as you can't prevent drugs beeing sold on the streets. However, I don't get the impressing there is a massive trade in arms up here. There is not much of a demand either. In general, only criminals illegally own a gun and they always have their means of getting one.

>You have been told that you have the right to carry a gun to defend yourself. But how many killings could have been prevented if you didn't. How many lives could have been spared? The hard statistics say that the number of gun-murdered people in the US is about 10 times as high as here in holland. Could you explain why?
