Dyanna..sorry but you are completly WRONG
Do you actually think a criminal gives a flying fuck if guns are outlawed or not? who do you think will have the upper hand if guns are outlawed? the criminals! All the law abiding citizenz who throw away thier guns to abide to the law will be like ducks in a pond at the shooting gallery.
Drugs are "outlawed" does that do any good? hell no,creates more death than if they were legalized.
If guns are outlawed,only the criminals will have them...no shit

Such backwards thinking, and that's the mentality of so many. It's a chicken/egg problem. Law abiding citizens get guns legally. Eventually a percentage of these guns fall into the wrong hands (i.e. criminals). If you outlaw guns altogether NOBODY can get them.
Unfortunately, your reasoning is correct because there are so many guns that are sold every year and now you've got a country with more guns than can every be collected (taken out of the hands of everyone). But you have to start somewhere ... instead of just adding more guns to the street by continually making them legally available.
