Us self-defense advocates should always ask the bleeding-heart liberals if they were attacked would they prefer to have a gun to fight back or get kidnapped, raped, mutilated, or killed and buried in a shallow grave?
Or ask them if all guns were to disappear tomorrow, what would the gangsters do? Answer: buy them from the import black market. Mexico is right next door and they supply many weapons to the inner cities.
Seems unlikely to me. Do you have a cite for that?
