Sparkz, you're choosing the lesser of two evils. Violence is violence; it provokes almost identical responses from victim and perpetrator whether the tool is a knife, a gun, or a plastic bag. The trick, as UT so excellenty pointed out, is to figure out why the fsck people are trying to hurt each other and deal with that issue, rather than the tangential problem of how they accomplish that.
A pro/anti-gun debate only distracts us from the real issue at hand: why can't we treat each other as human beings rather than as pieces of meat to be stabbed/shot/bludgenoned/eaten in order to get what we want?.
