Society will be better in your opinion, because you don't like the idea of civilians carrying weapons.

And you want to accomplish your ideal society by banning an activity that doesn't present a threat to anyone.

It's fine that you have this goal, but it isn't progressive, and I'm going to fight against it.

I'm going to raise my children with the facts regarding guns, rather than a superstitious fear and hatred for them and the people who own them. I'll encourage my friends and neighbors to do that same.

Society, in my opinion, is not polluted by honest people taking reasonable action to protect themselves. It is polluted by violent people who prey on defenseless victims, and by arrogant people who abuse government power to keep honest people defenseless.
