    Agree. Criminals will not extinguish there guns if they are outlawed. If that day comes, it will be a field day  for criminals. What better invitation to break into someones house than to know they are not armed , and capable of defending themselves.

    So far that seems to be working in reverse. Efforts were made to REDUCE the number not increase it. I dunno Malilzz. It's an endless and open debate. There will never be any resolution that satisfies  both sides of the argument. Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)
