Outlawing guns only keep guns away from law abiding citizens that needed the guns more for self defense. Who's the law protecting?

I think a lot of Americans use this argument to support firearm possession, and I honestly think its ridiculous. Think about it, if everyone is carrying a gun for "self-defence" the place isn't exactly going to be safe because everyone is carrying a lethal weapon. A small disagreement with someone could often turn into a shoot-out. Having a gun isn't going to protect but is probably more likely to draw you into a situation where you could get shot. Hows that for self-defence?

Surely, you've heard of personal responsibility.

You'd have to be of legal age and get a license for operating a gun.
