If guns kill people, pencils are responsible for spelling mistakes. It's not the firearm that is the problem - it's the person holding it.
Thugs and terrorists generally have a much easier time getting a gun than a lawful citizen. As stated previously, it doesn't matter how illegal you make it for a criminal (or anyone) to have a gun - criminals by definition don't give a rip about the law.
The left wing tactic seems to be to give up. My kids learned very quickly that you don't give the schoolyard bully your lunch money - he will be back wanting more. Kick him in the 'nads a couple times if you want left alone.
I told my son from a very young age "I better never hear of you starting a fight, but by God you're allowed to finish one." Same principal applies in defense of my family: I'm not going after trouble (that's the cops job, and its about time we untied their hands and let them do it) but if somebody comes to my family looking for it...
I think I speak for the majority of law abiding citizens - I'm sick of the good guys cowering in their homes while the criminals have the run of the town, and if it takes a shootout at the OK corral, so be it.
My state has already taken a positive step enacting no retreat self defense laws. It used to be if you were threatened in your own home there was a long list of conditions before you were ok to use any kind of force in self defense - including a requirement to try and retreat or escape... in your own home... idiotic! Only if you were absolutely cornered and "negotiations failed" were you ok to pull a gun.
Now if you're threatened with "serious bodily harm of yourself or another person or with the loss of your property" you can shoot first and ask questions later.
Several thugs are no longer a problem, and to date there have been no accidental shootings as was the major objection from the anti-gun lobby.
Now if they'd just make it legal setup snipers around the drug corners...
