a 92 year old woman's home, rape, murder and rob her. If she would have been armed perhaps she would be alive yet today.

A tiny sliver of a minority. And it's "banned".

Nothing good is going to come out of it. Everyone is riled up about the act of some assholes in the Conn. state legislative building. Given their awful behavior you're just going to be a punching bag.

We really have no idea how often or effectively guns are used defensively, and it's hard to even imagine a way to compile those data (though who knows, maybe the CDC will be able to now). We do have pretty good data on how often guns end up being used in suicides and homicides, or injure people accidentally. It's hard to do risk management when you have the data for Type I but not Type II.

Nobody expects that and most don't want to see it happen. I'll assume you already knew that and ask why you even bothered to post this?

guns should be illegal. I know it is not possible but don't deny many on here would like all guns banned.

"Ban all guns!", some might say.

It'll be impossible to know what people keep in their house.

But you leave that front door with it... then enjoy prison.
