If you hand a gun to a criminal, you hand death to his neighbor. We should be removing guns from the hands of those who should not have them. (And, we should not be so afraid to say they should not have them.) We should not make it so easy for them to obtain guns as simply running down to the store and buying them. Too easy. Not much harder for them to get their gun than for us to just hand one to them.
We should be doing all we can to stop private sales place guns in their hands. We should be doing all that we can so that friends and family do not lend them guns.
Hand out guns to killers, and you will only have killings. If you say all people have the right to own guns, you might as well hand killers their guns, for they will not be obstructed in getting them.
If you don't want them to have guns, you have to say, No.
You will say owning guns is a right, not a privilege, and therefore we cannot take guns from anyone. But, it is privilege. If we are saying not everyone should have a gun, then it is a privilege.
No, everyone should not be allowed to own a gun. It ceases to be a right when you do something to warrant taking it away.
Guns are the instruments of death. Can we not see that? Would we place the instruments of death in just anyone's hand? When a person acquires a gun, he is handed the power to use it for death.
Rights are not for those who abuse them. If a person threatens another, or does violence to them, he should have this weapon of death removed from his hand.
