MartialArtsBabe, I am going to ask you what nobody can ever answer for me. If guns are banned, I agree that people who care what the law is and who care about going to prison are going to be owning guns in much smaller numbers. However, what will make the criminal thugs stop having guns? Reducing the number of people who have guns is not the same as reducing the number of sack of shit thugs who have guns. What will gun control do to keep guns out of THEIR hands???????????????????????

Also, if the pieces of shit continue to have guns, how will they be affected by the fact that their targets no longer have guns?

That is what I never see anybody getting around. You might scare average Joes and Janets out of having guns, but what is going to end the underground market, and how will the underground act when their potential victims are no longer armed in the numbers they once were? Do you see the problem here?

I will tell you some facts about the area where I live. One of the well known residential areas in Jackson is Belhaven/Fondren. That's two big neighborhoods, but they exist together as one big community. It is an art district where lots of left leaning, far out types live. People in that area generally express themselves as liberals who do not believe in owning guns. Well, that community gets its ass robbed blind on a very regular basis. My brother was held up at gun point when he lived in Belhaven. Fondren gets robbed all the time too. After living in both neighborhoods, I moved back out to the suburbs of Rankin County. It is farther away from the "ghetto," but it is also an area where every criminal knows that there are more guns than people. I am not exaggerating. It's good ole boy territory where I am now. We don't have a problem with burglaries, muggings, or car jackings. Thugs know not to screw with this area. If anybody burglarized a house out here, it wouldn't just be the residents going after the scum with guns. Everybody on the street would be after them with guns. Could that perhaps be why houses out here don't get robbed? There is more money here than there is in Belhaven/Fondren, but we very rarely get screwed with. What is your take on this?
