This is my whole point. 100% of it. Thanks for bringing it back up. Now I know what you "didn't get".
We take their guns away and these people become knife criminals. Then we can just shoot their a$$ or beat em with a baseball bat, or spray em with pepper spray or kick em in the nuts ... or all of the above.
Best part ... this costs nothing. We dont have to do behavior therapy, we dont have to counsel them, we dont gotta bury the dead, we dont have to hide cowering in fear ... we just do a criminal check every time a gun is sold, and we check that same criminal check to sell them ammo. We will squeeze the criminals out of the market, and keep the law abiding in the market for guns and ammo.
I'll bet you never bought a gun you had a "need for" later that day. Criminals do. They also have guns they need to get rid of pronto. Usually that follows after they buy that next gun. You have never got rid of a gun by dumping it in a lake have you ... criminals do that too.

If you are in an area plagued with this problem, your best bet is to get a gun, learn how to use it, and get licensed to carry!
He he, I am likely to not get robbed. I only have 1 gun, no one has ever seen it, its not been used in 10+ years, and I can assure you, no one is assuming I am unarmed, and yet no one thinks I have a fortune in guns either. More than likely they think I'll stab em with a stray motorcycle part. Worse yet, most people think a bike gang lives @ my house. The ones that know me even a little bit, know I make a great friend and a near lethal enemy. It simply does not make sense to harm me, and it can hurt them a lot, and most people just know this.
I am everyone's motorcycle and audio and everything else repair man.
Cool.
Srinath.
