It was mainly Jeff`s logic that changed my mind. I stand corrected. The purpose of handguns is to kill people. We should get rid of them. Heroin was created as a pain killer, but became abused. We made heroin illegal and now it is impossible to obtain heroin except for a few areas in NYC. Prostitution is illegal and so in most cases you must leave the country to find a prostitute easily. Lets do the same with handguns. However once the handguns are gone, knives and rifles remain. What then? We should go further and ban murderers. The purpose of a murderer is to murder. All people will be questioned on thier intentions. Then there will be a drastic reduction in murders. The only way this could fail is if the murderers didn't admit they were murderers. -- The Last Surviving Bronto
