It's possible that some folks, through lack of understanding how anyone could want to have such a thing, thinks that everyone who owns a gun has a screw loose and should be locked up. You could equally well say that someone with a murderous intent could fill their car full of explosives and drive it into a crowded shopping centre. But we don't stop people owning cars.

Well they tried a total ban on handguns in this country over 12 years ago, what good it did I don't know, certainly wouldn't have deterred the criminal, but it did stop genuine shooting enthusiasts from carrying on with the sport, so much so that the British Pistol Shooting Team had to practice in France, while the gangs still carried on shooting each other on the street with great regularity
