Quote by: Milton Bradley Again, you seem to want to punish all, law abiding citizens included, for "potential crime", and that is not how our justice system was set up to operate. |
With that logic, I could argue that banning nuclear weapons, or small pox from the general public is meant to punish all law abiding citizens included for "potential crime," and that is not how our justice system was set up to operate.
How do you make the distinction?

Well, since you seem to realize that, why would you deny the true law abiding citizen the right to be a good guy with a gun?
In effect, that's what you are agruing for, a state in which only criminals, and the government have guns.

Make it harder for criminals to get the guns
Plus, there's always a first time with gun crime. The world isn't split into good people = law abiding and bad people = criminals.
Finally, you want to create a world where anyone could kill another person within seconds if they so wished.
