My point was that some good people in America do want them, and some people do need them because there will always be the risk of being faced with one. Making something illegal does not make it disappear, and gun sales do not reflect gun circulation. For every 100,000-300,00 sold per year, many of those are still on the street. And guns can be made elsewhere. If there are criminals with guns, setting your own gun down will not convince them to do the same. They're criminals.
And I would argue that drugs are more violent than guns. Drugs are the reason most people die here, and the people that kill for drugs aren't going to put the guns away. That doesn't make drugs bad, it means certain people are bad. The same people who make guns dangerous. The same people that would make knives dangerous if they didn't have guns.
Cars are another huge cause of death. Should we make cars illegal?
