It is a fact that most crazies out there shooting up people are not using legal guns... Criminals will always be able to get their grimey hands on guns, at least citizens can protect themselves... Police only come after the fact, they aren't there to protect you. If they don't have guns, they might have higher numbers of stabbings like in the UK. Keep in mind for those that compare rates USA vs UK, that our population is many times higher...so of course we'll have a higher rate...
More people are killed in the USA by doctor prescribed drug interactions, than by guns.
