Eh, I've got no issues with owning guns for hunting. Hunting rifles are fine, but the only real REASON to own a pistol is to shoot humans. You can argue it's for self defense, but if no one else owned a pistol you wouldn't have anyone else to defend yourself from now would you?

Therein lies the problem. No amount of gun control ever has or ever can make criminals turn in their guns, so denying the law-abiding majority the right/ability to defend themselves and their homes from the lawless minority is unjust in my opinion.

As I said earlier, its best if they don't try and defend their homes as it increases their risk of being shot.

If you're faced with a criminal with a gun its best just to let him rob you than to try and go vigilante and end up dead.

 In the time it took you to post this I was adding to my other so see that also.  

 I agree 100% with the mugging part, nothing I own is worth my life, but I think burglary is a fundamentally different scenario.  First, your average burglar is most likely less gutsy than your average mugger because generaly burglars don't have to face anyone, they just grab the stuff and run.  Second, houses have multiple rooms, and if he's on the other side of the house you're not in immediate danger reaching for your gun, assuming it's close by.  You shouldn't go to him, but you'd be prepared if he came to you.
