Gun Control Thread- Should we?

[SmootSmack]

There were a string of robberies in my sister in law's apartment complex, a few years back. Guy would basically mug a couple at gunpoint, usually when they had their hands full with groceries. He'd make them take him to their apartment, he'd rob the place and leave. Nobody harmed, other than emotionally. Happened a couple of times until the third or fourth mugging.

Dude who was being mugged along with his girlfriend had a gun, so he pulled it out. Suspect shot them both dead right away.

Now I know that's just one example, but it's an example of everyone having a gun not being the solution.
