The idea of a 'defenseless population' seems to be central for pro gun advocates. They seem to differentiate between those who need defense, and those who do bad deeds, when in fact, they are one and the same!

Wow, this is the most depressing worldview I've seen expressed here. Everyone should be locked up! This is what happens when you look at aggregates and ignore individuals.

Who said anything about locking anyone up?

So you don't think those who do bad deeds should be locked up?

Maybe, it would be impossible to generalize. My point is that there will inevitably be conflicts between members of a population. The level of violence in these conflicts is determined by the destructive potential of each individual. With deadly fire arms being available to the public we ensure that these conflicts will be deadly at a higher frequency.

If you don't think it is obvious, I don't think I can ever convince you.
