They tell me the "research" says that having a handgun in your home makes it 40 times more likely that a family member will commit suicide, and that if banning handguns "saves just one child" it's all worth it, and I'm just a selfish bastard if I don't agree.

It's the same warped logic used with tobacco. Legal product, but they want to control it, tax the hell out of it, then ban it. No good can come of these things. Hitler had a anti-tobacco campaign too, along with fire-arm confiscations, and book-burnings. We saw how he helped the "children", didn't we.
