I have a different view, simply because of growing up in Canada. There are crimes here where guns are involved, but not all that many of them. Do I need a gun to defend myself? Certainly not. Do I want handguns to become legal? A firm NO.
But as I said before, life here is different simply because guns were never legal, there isn't as many around as in the countries where they are legal. Do I fear for my life? No, I don't even lock my doors most of the time.
In the U.S. they have always had the right to have handguns and I can see how some feel that by taking them away they are losing something they have some sort of right to have...I have never had that right...I don't feel a lost...even if offered I wouldn't want it. To me...it is numbers...the more you have of them around...the more chance there is of someone using them.
