If We Outlaw Guns, Only Guns Will have Outlaws

  If we outlaw guns, only guns will have outlaws. Knives will not be outlawed, so those who own them will not be outlaws. Ropes will not be outlawed, so those who own them will not be outlaws.
  The gun, alone, is of such distinction.
   But, think on this, then: Is the gun already to be considered more of a partner to outlaws than any other weapon?
   It is. No self-respecting criminal -- at least, major criminal -- is going to be without a gun. They travel together, like a sailboat and the rudder that guides the sailboat. Or, like toast and the butter that goes on the toast.
   If we can see this connection, shouldn't we see that taking guns out of the hands of criminals is like kicking the legs out from underneath those criminals?
   Who needs guns more -- the average person, or a criminal? If we were to take them from everybody, who would hurt the most -- who would stand the most to lose?
   The criminal. The average Joe might never need one.
