I could go on all day like that.
One thing that doesn't make sense to me is your view. How can you say to ban ALL handguns, but yet rifles be OK? A rifle can kill people just as dead as a handgun. Also, it is obvious that "banning" is only going to keep law abiding citizens from getting guns it will do absolutely zero towards criminals who are not allowed ALREADY to have them YET have them anyway. How then using your logic and common sense will "banning" ever work?
