That argument wont fly with the fact that florida was the car jack state back in the early 90's, guess what? They allowed people to not only own guns but carry them, and wham car Jackings disapeared, coincidence? I don't think so! Criminals with guns are bonified cowards, they need a swayed advantage to carry out thier crimes, when put in a situation of a even playingfield they usually will cower. Peace through strength is the only solution, so long as we have individuals who refuse to obey the law, or the rights of fellow citizens. The oblishment of guns argument is really just foolish, how much do you want to bet most who take this side also feel that marijuana should be legalized? And the argumant for the legalization would be " we will never stop people from getting it so we might as well legalize it and tax it " but somehow outalwing guns will get rid of them?
