I think the only people that want to get rid of handguns are the people that never see the reason you would need one. It's great OJ, yer prolly a student in some rich area or middle class area. You prolly never will need a gun. But that's exactly why your opinion should be ignored.

I don't deny that sometimes people save their own or other's lives by using handguns. Good for them. But how often do you hear stories like that? Once in a while. How often do you hear about someone being robbed, raped, or murdered by someone with a handgun, or a kid finding his dad's handgun and killing himself or a friend, or some innocent person getting killed with a handgun in a road rage incident or carjacking or drive-by shooting? Every day. The "good" handgun stories are far outnumbered by the "bad" ones. I really like the ones where a five-year old brings a Glock to his kindergarten class. Those are the best.
