| Rath said: That is the most illogical statement of the year so far. If everybody has a gun people are going to end up being shot, if nobody has a gun then nobody ends up getting shot. Registration and restriction of guns in countries often correlates to the amount of gun deaths in a country. removed pic so it is shorter @MrStick. From the OP I kind of got that he wasn't talking about home invasion, he was talking about the massacres that are all too common these days. People going on shooting sprees in malls, schools, army bases.

army base in texas - no one had guns because they were in the medical area, hence the shooting spree happened there where no one could defend themselves
school - no guns, no one can defend themselves
malls - generally no one brings guns to the mall, no one can defend themselves.
people at home - have guns, can defend themselves and it has been proven to work even when the cops take over 10 minutes to show up to an invasion.
criminals may be dumb enough to commit a crime, but they tend to be smart enough to know where the weak/easy targets are. While the statement might be slightly illogical, he is right that if everyone has a gun, then everyone is on an even playing field. If guns are outlawed, then the criminal has the advantage, as the black market will provide more than enough illegal guns and ammunition for people willing to pay.
besides, once we outlaw guns, these massacre will just move into the pipe bomb category, as they are more than easy enough to make. Heck, terrorists use bombs now, and they have been fairly effective.
