Why do people think banning guns will lower crime?

Hope not.. The bad guys prefer unarmed victims!. When seconds matter calling 911 and asking the bad guy to wait is not a viable option. Better to have a gun and not need it than to need it and not have it!

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens. So you are against the private ownerships of gun! Do you believe in fire extinguishers?

Why, you can always call the fire department! No Weapons Allowed Criminals this is a defense free zone All law abiding people have been disarmed for you.

Of course not. The concept behind the anti-gunners' call (though they won't admit it) is that general society should be completely disarmed, thereby making it a little more difficult for criminals and terrorists to obtain one. I don't think they realize that there are thousands of "gunsmiths" on the streets of third-world countries who will make you a fully automatic AK-47 out of scrap, in very little time and for very little money.

Furthermore, they discount firearms as a defense against criminals.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
