Joe D. there's no need to apologize for being argumentative, if you weren't you wouldn't be posting in this forum.
I don't understand why people don't just look at countries with no gun laws. In Taiwan it has been extremely successful. Make the penalties for possessing a gun extremely harsh, something like life imprisonment.
It's true that only hardcore criminals would possess guns but here's the silver-lining, the police would actually have the upper hand. Instead, of the situation we have here in the U.S. where the police stand a 50% chance of being outgunned by the bad guys.
