People control. That might work. Knife , rock,club, stick, dog, automobile,flowerpot, and gun control doesn't seem to be logical.
The one exception is again the "Stupid" human exception. Those with children or who are exposed to children... who fail to keep their weapon locked up and/or secured from children. These idiots need to be executed by firing squad.
Other than these idiots... good people deserve to defend themselves from bad people. Only good people will abide by "controls". Bad people can then prey on good people more easily. I have stated over and over at RHP... "I would trust Mother Therisa with a thousand nuclear bombs. I wouldn't trust Saddam with a stick."
I know people who are insecure... (lefties) want the world made perfectly harmless. Sorry. Ain't gunna happen. Too many bad guys out there who won't think twice about killing you for a good laugh. So the next best thing is to try to educate them to reality. You are responsible for your own and your families protection. Don't shirk that responsibility. Suck up some courage and just do it. But do it right.
People kill people. With cars and guns. Whatever. Poo-Poo occurs.
