I want to protect everyone. I don't really care whether they are babies or adults.

Many people, babies, adults or in-between, are protected by people who own guns. Strict gun control may keep guns away from potential protectors, without taking them out of the hands of criminals.

When people have so much rage in them they can kill someone over children's sports, or "roadrage", I start to think there are quite a few people out there (and not just criminals) I don't want owning guns.

Such incidents are tragic but they are relatively few and far between. They represent a very small % of murders. They are greatly outnumbered by situations were people use guns in self defense or defense of others.
