If you keep it a capital-R right, NOT a privilege granted to those favored by the State (Nazi Weapons Law of 1934, for an obvious instance) you reduce crime to the tune of a couple billion in assets and productivity preserved each and every year, and you make genocides impractical.
These are always good things, and Spexx's manifest hoplophobia complex does not and cannot make them otherwise.

As a fair tradeoff for not having to be killed by someone, I'd call it more than fair. Stop asking people with more sense than you're showing to submit to murder, Spexx! It's unbecoming, immoral, unfair, and really pretty slimy! If you don't become an advocate of self-defense by all means, you cannot ever be a good man -- think about what that means.
Remember that Spexx is vigorously and repeatedly projecting his subconscious urge to kill -- subconscious because he cannot consciously accept it, however better adjusted he might be if he did -- onto gun-owning folk more sensible (on this matter) than he. It helps to invalidate his entire argument, and frankly, that's a good thing.
