kemp,

Maybe because this issue is personal to me is why I can say an outright ban on handguns would benefit society. And maybe it's because I don't care what you guys say, you can't convince me that banning handguns wouldn't save the lives of more CHILDREN.

If carryng a gun makes someone feel safer, fine. If owning guns is really a deterrent, fine. If that makes society a safer place, fine.

All I can do is speak from my own encounter, and also the experience of an in-law who has been running undercover DEA operations in Texas for 25 years. He's wholeheartedly for a ban on handguns - says that when a crime is taking place the fewer guns involved, the better. He says unless you are trained, and most people aren't, pulling a gun on a criminal who has a gun does nothing than pretty much guarantees that someone will get shot. Could be the criminal, could be the victim, and sometimes it's an innocent bystander.
