"Otherwise, the door will open wide to weakening the responsible gun laws that protect us all."

Wrong. "Gun laws" mainly protect gun-toting criminals from any fear of resistance.

"Gun laws" mainly protect gun-toting criminals from any fear of resistance.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
