It is a well known fact, that locks are made for honest people. A criminal can get through any lock given time enough. The same is true of guns. If a law were passed that all guns were illegal, what difference would that make to the criminal?? He is already a law breaker, so what's the penalty of breaking another law, or so. The primary fallacy of such a law, is that the honest people would no longer have a chance to protect themselves from criminals. The police are great, but they cannot be everywhere when they are needed. There are many documented cases where a private citizen has save life, and property, from a criminal, or criminals, with his own hand gun. Some of those citizens have been given citations of appreciation from their local police departments.
