Hitler deterred from invading the US becouse of the handguns amongst the population? Please document. He could hardly get a longer logistics chain to look after, and were not able to even invade the British isles.
I'm glad somebody else jumped on that statement. I've never heard such a rediculous justification for "the right to bear arms".
More people die from their own guns, or their own family's guns than from somebody else's gun.
I've handled / fired handguns and long guns since I was in high school, but I see no need to own a handgun - and I live just outside Detroit!
The only gun I own is a POS single-shot 12 guage shotgun that was last used at a regatta 25 years ago. I'd be afraid to fire anything but blanks from it now (it hasn't been cleaned since then).
