"When guns are outlawed, law abiding people will not have them. Criminals will!"
is not really true as few crimals in britain have guns, those few that do mainly use them on each other. A culture where guns are freely availible means that criminals will get guns to defend themsevles from people who have guns to defend themselves from burglers who have guns to the defend themselves from etc etc etc, its a self fuffiling phrophecy of violence. Also people waveing guns about is exactly the kind of thing anti-captilist protestors want, so they can provoke people and polarise opinons and actions. And its not people with guns who defend your rights its politicians,lawyers and civil rights groups in fact to suggest that guns somehow defend your rights is to make a mockery of politics where deeds are accomplished with words not guns.
