Exactly.  I may not have worded it exactly right.  I think they believe
that law abiding citizens having guns means there are more guns out there
for law breaking persons to have access to (while breaking the law).  Their
belief is that we should be willing to give up our guns, or at least have
ours all registered, tracked, and restricted (as to what we can own) so
that criminals cannot get their hands on them.  <rollseyes>

I do agree that most law breaking persons are not going to try anything if
they think they might get shot.  Many of them are not smart, but I don't
believe that most of them have a death wish.
