Gun laws. Where've they gotten us?

Even though taking guns out of homes may stop children from gaining access and hurting themselves or someone else, is it the right thing to do? Taking guns out of homes from licensed gun owners?

It's taking guns out of their hands that they use to protect themselves and their familes, and giving the criminals the upper hand. Because if you're expecting the criminals with unlicensed weapons to hand them over to the police which would be incriminating themselves by owning an illegal fire-arm, you are dead wrong. And if it supposedly takes access to guns away from children, you are also wrong. If a child is going to shoot-up a school, they're not going to be stopped by a stupid law, if they really want the job done, they'll buy a weapon on the black-market.

Does that mean that children should be locked up? That they shouldn't be allowed money? What are your views on this law?

There was another thread that contained not only the information you said, but it included statistical data to back it up. I forgot the name of the thread, but it was in political Mud-Pit (which I am now restricted from).
