Why anyone would think that criminals who disobey other laws, including laws against murder, would obey gun control laws is a mystery. A disarmed population makes crime a safer occupation and street violence a safer sport.

Even in places where law-abiding citizens are allowed to own guns, they are seldom allowed to carry concealed weapons even though concealed weapons protect not only those who carry them, but also protect those who do not,
