I'm sorry, but if you take the guns away from the people, who's going to protect us from the police and military? Ever since this beloved country of ours was founded (by rich white men), the poor people have been the victims of sanctioned violence by the rich man's goons. Look into the Civil Rights Movement, our violent labor history, our wars. But on the other hand, if your going to own a gun you had best be responsible enough to keep it away from small hands.
