Owning a gun isn't really necessary unless you are a licensed hunter or a government worker. If guns weren't handed out like party favors to people who don't need them, then you wouldn't have to worry about armed robbers. And people in this forum are probably just as unskilled in hand-to-hand combat as the common thief.
If people that shoot people are shooting people why would they bother to follow a law that says no guns? Then the death rate will skyrocket because noone can defend themselves.
No guns, robber shoots and kills houseowner.Guns, houseowner may or may not shoot robber, get shot by robber or get shot with own gun by robber.
You realize this defense you speak of would only switch who the victim was, not decrease the death rate?
