Re: Will Criminals Still Have Access to Guns if the Law Takes Away the Good Guy's Gun
Two or more home intruders armed with weapons (hand guns or assault rifles) with kevlar body armor and multiple 20+ round mags would wait until my 20 round mag was empty and then move in on me to deliver a fatal shot.
That's just one scenario where the proposed restrictions would play right into the bad guy's hands.
Every long gun owner should know this.
Almost NONE of the leading voices for gun control can offer a solution to that scenario and still believe in restricting mag sizes and assault weapons.
Like pretty much everyone here (except those stubborn enough to say they already know), I'd like to see some comprehensive studies conducted. Ideally, they'll take into provide recommendations for areas of different demographics and population densities (you can't compare hicksville Montana to Chicago or LA). Based on that, I'd like to see legislation, and I'm sure there would be legislation of some type, because we have far too much gun violence at present to not do anything.
Right now, I personally advocate reduction/elimination of weapons that exceed those required for self-defense and hunting (you don't need an AR-15 for hunting game). At the same time, I'd like to see California and New York become shall-issue states for concealed carry permits, and I'd like to see most states decrease the requirements for a concealed weapons permit (I don't know what they are at present, state-by-state, but concealed firearms are largely beneficial).
I do not think we need to put guns at schools, in the form of armed guards (there was one at Columbine, by the way). I would be okay with removing most no-gun areas, with the exception of places like courts.
