Second amendment, self-defense, 'freedom', 'resisting the government', name all you want about reasons for guns, and it's fulfilled by long guns.
The only 'self-defense' not met is walking around with a handgun on you. And the fact that there are OTHER, criminal, hostile, people walking around with handguns far outweighs the benefit to your self-defense. The aggressor will far more often have the benefit of shooting first, of surprising or ambushing.
Today, I was assaulted by a young man who had a crazed level of hostility when told to wear his mask over his nose. I suspect he's a criminal mentality in general, with that level of hostility and readiness to use violence. If he'd had a handgun, there's no reason apparent he wouldn't use it.
We do not need that level of danger, that level of murder, because some idiotic, ignorant, deluded people are in a gun cult mentality, even if THEY don't live around the dangerous people who walk around with handguns and criminal mentalities and tempers.
I'm not anti-gun ownership or anti-gun rights. I'm anti-idiotic stealthy guns that greatly increase the danger and killing for only a small fraction of the benefit in return.
Pro-gun people love to say 'mass shootings are a tiny percent of the shootings, banning assault rifles is just a political feel good move that doesn't fix things'. So, let's ban the crime gun: the hand gun. Now.
I'm pretty tired of America being the worst country around in important areas.
Worst at jailing the most, worst at the virus, worst at gun violence, worst at arming the world in military weapons, worst at taking vaccines apparently. The only defense I know for handguns is mindless, and I have no respect for that position.
I DO have some sympathy for the enormous undertaking it would be practically, and the fact that it would be imperfect, where on occasion, 'the only person with a gun was a criminal'. But overall, the number of killings will plummet. I'm open to reasonable ways to implement it over time and phase it in. And I'm tired of the idiotic mentality of people who don't care unless they are personally affected by the violence.

Also, until we DO ban handguns, I think there's a case for having one for self-defense. Just recognize the dangers it poses - you use it wrongly, it's used against you, it's stolen and used by criminals, accidents - and the likelihood it won't protect you. You aren't the one who is likely to draw first.

Lol, so you see the value in handguns for self defense and that has led you to conclude that handguns shouldn’t be available for self defense?
I’m sorry, you want to ban guns because you were assaulted by someone who didn’t have one?

We need to ban handguns
Because banning something automatically solves all the real problems.... has banning certain drugs and a constitutional prohibition on booze in the past worked out for the US ?
All it does is disarm the law abiding and empower the criminal element.

Old old position and blah blah blah ....... throw the weapons in the melting pot.
Banning firearms is like banning pot.
Blah, blah, blah. False analogies.
It is its own issue, and we need to ban handguns to save thousands of Americans annually, and make the country a safer place. Will it be perfect? No. We ban murder and murder continues. Should we stop banning it?
An old and accurate position that cannot be denied.
Hand guns are not going anywhere, so I am not too concerned.
Accurate analogy,.
However....comparing possession of a legal firearm to murder?
Thats a false analogy.
