Banning guns is a bad idea

Thanks !!!! Some people keep guns all ready loaded (not a good idea if you have pets of kids) so they can simply grab it and be ready while some people keep them under the bed, in a drawer next to their bed ecc so it is easier to reach if you need it. 4 years ago my mom heard a noise outside our house. We live In a middle class safe neighberhood with good people (and a sex offender who lives not to far--a mother reason we should get a gun) my dad went to he window to look and saw a big white van speed away and my dad called the police. It turned out that two men had robbed our elderly neighborhoods from across the street. They heard bumping but they're both very old and didn't confront the men because they were scared. If they had a gun maybe they could have confronted them before they took their stuff. Luckily they were convicted criminals and after my dad called the cops hey we're able to catch the men and get our neighbors their stuff back(they had an old radio that was very special to them that got broken) what if those people weren't non smart trash (my dad saw them in court) but weird pevertedbsmart people who intended on doing much worse things? What if their grand children had Ben there? I think a gun would have kept th safe. I would disagree that negatives outway positives. I think their can be a middle ground where guns are not to easy to get but not so restricted so that law obeying people can't defend them selves. About the cars. I car is 1000 pounds. It's more dangerous than a gun. One can use a gun to defend them selves with wry little knowledge of it but to drive a car you have to have taken classes or at least watched your parents drive. Driving is vey scary and nerve racking because your constantly in motion. You can simple hold a gun and have nothing go wrong and you don't have to watch signs and other drivers ect. Plus more people die Ina car accidents than gun accidents. In mos cases with back round checks you can tell if the person is a criminal or mentally Ill very soon. Just because there are criminals doesn't mean good people have their rights taken away. Animals can be very unpredictable. People should know not to let them or get to close (when we were in MN 11 years ago we were in our car waiting for the bison to pass and peope were getting out and taking pics and were very close to them good thing nothing happened but if it did my uncle could have used his gun) some animals like dogs and moose are unpredictable and you may simple be in your backyard (my relatives in MN have moose in those yard SMS times) or something you need to have a gun. When my cousin in PA was little she was in the back seat of a car while my ain't went to grab something and when my aunt came back a small black bear was sticking it's head in the car after the food my aunt was able to yell and scream and make the bear go away. Thankfully everything was fine nuts at if the bar tried to get my cousin? My ain't couldn't have wrestled the bear. She would have needed a gun. M half Crimean Tatar and I have distant relatives in Ukraine. We're all scared for them because of all the riots and it would make seance for them to have a gun to defend them selves (from pro Russians mobs) if I were surrounded by a mob that was going crazy if want a gun. About the rapist,knives and martial art. My cousin (same one from the bear story) has a black belt in karate and taught me and my sister some sc defense moves so I'm familiar but karate or a knife would be a match for a 6 foot gal man or several of them with a gun (that they would have gotten illegally cause they're rapists they disobey the law) or even with out a gun. Especially if your a teen girl. In my city a 13 year old was raped behind a vacant house by a 36 year old man. She couldn't use martial arts or a knife or pepper spray. She probably needed a gun. About the confusing quote. I meant less guns doesn't equal less crime( uk and chicago example) Thanks
