I really, really have to stay out of gun shops

Can I ask what is the murder rate in Canada vs the USA ? Don't go telling me law abiding gun owners are not a problem. Just last week here in Michigan we had a ex-police chief from a small town kidnap his wife and shot her dead and then later on killed himself. He was an old guy with no criminal record, was even a ex cop--top cop.

I got a .22 handgun also but its a dirt cheap Jenning's, paid $65 for it longtime ago. Got really no use for it now, just sits around. I also keep a trigger lock on it.

Guess what? The ex-police chief is not a law abiding citizen. Guns don't kill people any more than spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat. Let's look at all the stats and not just your one scenario. Take our guns away and you think the problem is solved? They made drugs illegal and they are rampant. The made booze illegal during prohibition and it was everywhere. I have news for you. If they take guns out of the average law abiding citizen's hands, there will still be guns out on the streets and every one of them will be in the hands of a criminal. Then we can see how you like living in that kind of world. Murder rates would escalate immediately.
