Your statements are quite strange; first inferring that since they came from criminials (..they must be criminals), and "GUNS ARE BAD" are from two different sides of the coin, usually.
The fact that there were fewer people 150 years ago, and the fact that 'if you didn't learn to protect yourself have your shit stolen, and/or die' lends to a bit more credibility of the days of past. However, there are several laws in place that make it difficult to obtain several weapons (not impossible, of course), and yes, you can still buy a 22 that will put a hole in something. So will anything abused or used improperly.
Basically, I guess I'm saying that if you're trying to make a point beyond personal statements and conjecture, you've failed to do so.
