Im for some sort of gun control. I dont want to ban guns completely, but im open for banning all guns except hand guns. I still think its important to give people the option to protect themselves and their property while limiting the amount of damage some sort of psychopath can cause if he decides to go ballistic.
Whats lost in the whole gun debate though is the black market. I was reading Freakonomics earlier this year and they had some compelling points about gun control. They claimed the data shower that in most shootings the weapons used by the shooters are obtained on the black market. They also showed that there isn't a direct correlation between guns per capita and gun violence. I think they used Switzerland as an example. They had the most guns per capita but they have some of the lowest gun violence in the entire world.
It wasn't that long ago that handguns were what was being demanded to be banned.
