Law abiding citizens, since the crooks will own the weapons anyway, and you can evermore believe they support banning firearms in the home.

I think drivebys are a bad example. Aren't those mostly gang related? Gang people aren't law abiding citizens. And is the implication that people should be walking around fully armed? I don't trust the public walking around with guns, or taking them to bars or Little League games... or driving with them. Especially driving with them.
As for guns in the home... Isn't a gun in the home more dangerous for the inhabitants of the home than for an intruder, statistically speaking? It's something I've heard, but I don't care to look for said statistics at this moment.
