Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one. - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria, Criminologist 1764.

I think these laws limiting usage of guns comes from the desire to lower crime rates, but there's also a failure to realize that guns aren't like horses who knock their riders off their backs, thus injuring the hapless rider. Thinking it would be the end of the world if everyone owned guns...there's no fear of guns. There's fear of the people who use them. It's just no one's ballsy enough to admit it.
