takeit4granted: I have a permit for a handgun ,,right or wrong in anyones eyes,,,that means nothing when and if I need to protect myself,or family
I agree.
In the best of all possible worlds, handguns wouldn't even exist.
But they do. And it is the most dangerous elements of society that will have them first. So having a handgun for defense can be necessary in dangerous areas. The very fact that some people have guns in their homes has a disuasive affect on criminality.
In Texas when carrying a gun became legal, agressions went way down. In the old west many people carried guns and crime was low. It is not the guns that increase criminality.
Even in the case of the housekeeper, it is paranoia of the housekeeper that is the problem. And that paranoia probably stems from high crime in the area such as drug gangs.
The fact that the housekeeper had a gun on her while working testifies that she considered the threat of violent intruders to be very real.
I admit it's a problem, but I don't think disarming law-abiding citizens and leaving them at the total mercy of vicious criminals is the answer.
The only real solution will have to involve a radical change in society and its values. Until then some sort of disuasive parity is about the best we can expect.
Like the old saying goes.
God made men.
Smith & Wesson made them equal.

That's sick!!!
People who shoot at other people recklessly should lose all rights to ever own a gun and should do jail time.

In the US that is called a felony and you do lose many of your rights.... even to ever own another gun.
