I rest this case......Shut the fuck up. evil:

Murders are still committed with legal pistols. YOU'RE an idiot if you believe otherwise.

Explain to me why any citizen would need to own a pistol?[/quote]

Nevermind you tripper, you can keep your oppinion, but I'm not going to shut the fuck up because you don't fucking understand mine. You think that by banning all pistols, its going to keep them away from people? All I can say to you is that's bullshit. You must not understand what a 'black-market' is, so maybe I should explain it to you.


A black market is a desire to sell and buy illegal items. Anywhere from drugs, guns, to smuggled animals. Everything goes undocumented in the black-market so it's harder to trace and find the people who own certain things. So usually, the people who buy guns off the black-market have a greater advantage when performing illegal activities, no one knows they have a gun. In turn, this makes it HARDER for police to track him down. And, since people who buy off the black-market KNOW that it's illegal, it makes it EASIER for them to break into someone's house or rob a bank... etc. because most likely, the law-abiding citizen who is sleeping in his house has no defense. Not only that, but it will promote more theft and burglary just so people can buy a pistol that will cost 10x more on the black market than it would at a gun store. Hence, more money will go into the black-market, which in turn will mean more illegal activity, which in turn will mean a greater threat to an individual's security.

So, by making a gun illegal, it's only going to make them more desirable to the people that break the law, and make it harder for people that follow the law to defend themselves. Maybe you have no need for self-defense, but your neighborhood isn't the same as everyone elses. I've seen neighborhoods where you don't have to lock your doors at night, and I've seen some where if you don't have three locks and a dog, you are almost guaranteed to get your house broken into.
