I strongly believe that every man has a right to protect themselves against to people who poses danger to them. Though I am in favor with gun control since the government should be serious about who should own a gun and those should not. But when you say banning guns then that would not be right since those people who received it (legally) undergo with the proper ways and needed skills with physical and mentally able.
But I believe that those who really want guns especially those who have a bad intention can acquire it without the approval of the government by hook or by crook. The issue really is to trace the origin of this unlicensed guns and put to justice those guys who have been selling it illegally.
Yes, you dont have to be a christian to inherently understand, that every organism by its nature will try to protect its life against agressor. The thing particular to guns (and why they are such big point of contention) is the fact, that they multiply force an individual is able to extert. Single woman can defend her family against gang of five, thats not possible with any other tool.
Guns can be made with equipment in garage, they are not Happy Potter sticks, but merely several pieces of metal setting off chemical reaction when fired. So you are right, they will continue to be made and their ban will merely exlude law abidding citizens from using them. Not terrorists or criminals.
Government regulation is indeed in place - nobody really needs immigrants, who just entered country or ex-criminals, who just left jail after previous violent behavior to be able to buy semiautomatic rifles.
Thats why I said to the guy before you: Being able to defend yourself is privilege, cherish it and protect. Others around the world were not so lucky, some (Swedish, Germans) even brainwashed into thinking, that its in their best interest to be completely at mercy of state and sociopaths at all times.
