To the person who mentioned NIU and VT, are you planning to commit a crime with your gun? Explain to me how leaving law-abiding gun owners without a means of protecting themselves and their families is going to stop one or two deranged individuals from going on a rampage. It's been proven over-andover again statistically that communities/states with less restriction on firearms tend to have less crime than those where the victims are left defenseless. Please show me how the tightening of gun controls in DC has lowered their violent crime rate over the years.
