Most victims of guns aren't attackers that were shot in self defense. Are you saying it's better that large number of innocent people get killed than a minority of self-defending people? That doesn't sound like a safe solution overall - it only benefits the people who take more action to defend themselves and hurts everyone else.

Question too - how do you use a gun to defend yourself against somebody else with a gun? Doesn't it come down to who can "draw" quicker - which will surely always be the attacker because he's the only one who knows what's about to happen?

Or are you only talking about defending yourself against people without guns who who might use them impulsively so they don't have the advantage of surprise?

Most people killed by guns are victims of suicide. America has a mental health problem. If you want to prevent deaths from guns fix the mental health problems first. If you want to stop people from dying focus on the number preventable cause of death, heart disease.

Most victims of guns are in gang related skirmishes in poverty centers.
