[QUOTE="BlueFalcon, post: 3014575, member: 140248"] You base this on what? Surely that any number of people have successfully defended themselves with handguns and other types of guns in their home and on their properties quite easily refutes what you're trying to assert here. How would you define effective self defense against an armed intruder intent on hurting you or your family? Unfortunately that is a rather naive assumption on your part. Making guns illegal across the board doesn't do anything to take all the thousands of illegal guns already in circulation out of circulation. It simply doesn't follow that by taking away legal ownership of handguns that illegal handguns are simply going to dissapear. I'm not even exactly pro gun ownership for everyone anyhow... but I don't think an out and out ban is going to solve the problem of weapons gotten through illegal channels. It's an absolute non-starter anyhow... it would be tied up in the US supreme court for the next century anyhow. [/QUOTE]
