If you outlaw firearms for civilians, only, then what are they to protect themselves with? The courts have said time and again that the police have no duty to protect the individual citizens, just to the law itself. So what do you do when someone breaks into you house, or threatens you with physical violence. As we know criminals don't obey the law (that's why their criminals) it's entirely likely they will threaten the populace with guns. I suppose if the police could arrive within seconds of being called, there would be no need for a handgun, but I think there are legitimate reasons for owning a firearm.

This is a cool thread--- I follow about 50% of this stuff!
