How come a smart person does not know that no matter how many laws you pass only the law abiding people are inconvenienced by them and the outlaws who pay no heed to laws anyway will still acquire guns. Are you advocating we all give up our guns so the bad guys will give up theirs?

The moral dilemma you face is do you stand unarmed when you and your family are in danger or do you stand like a citizen and exercise your constitutional right to defend yourself with a gun.
