With respect to firearms, there are two sides to the coin. Whenever I hear the "if it SAVES one life" argument concerning banning guns or limiting magazine capacity, I am rude enough to turn the argument around with "if it COSTS one life."

Any restriction that impairs a firearm's offensive use to potentially "save one life" also equally impairs the firearm's defensive use to potentially "cost one life."
