Likelyhood of a man armed with a knife killing 25 people in a McDonald's vs using a semi-automatic?
To use the logic that criminals will still use guns is also stupid. We have laws against rape and rapists still rape so logically we should just make rape legal then.

with all the deaths in NO due to lack of response, you'd still argue that the gov should be relied upon to protect its citizens? I personally know people who use your arguments and have your basic stance on the gun issue and i can tell you that not one of them has been a victim of a violent crime. There are also those who've argued as you do against guns who've found themselves in a situation where they have no control that would of otherwise been available had they been trained and had a weapon for defense. When 2 crackheads break into your house and you're left defenseless and eventually tied up waiting for that bullet to the back of the head, you can think about your anti gun stance and what might of been different had they entered your room and saw you pointing a shotgun at their heads. if we banned weapons as you said, the only people left without them would be the citizens who'd turn them over. with our current border situation, you can get almost any weapon you desire if you're a criminal and having even a small pistol in a neighborhood where you know with a certainty no one has a gun, because they are outlawed, you are left open to prey on whomever you choose.
