> Even though I support gun control, I recognize that there are many good reasons that people in opposition of gun control put forward.

The problem with this train of thought is that gun control is enforced by gun violence.

Good people who just want to have weapons to defend themselves will be forced at gunpoint to surrender their weapons, and if they resist, they will be shot.

What is the difference between armed police officers and armed civilians? The most obvious would be the badge and uniform, but then you would think experience would follow, but it doesn't. Civilians are more experienced with their weapons than police officers are.

Just look at the problems the NYPD have been causing. It's alarming how many of these police officers don't spend any time at a gun range practicing, this is how 9 innocent people get shot by the police.

If you are eating at a diner and an armed man comes in with a gun screaming that he's going to start shooting everybody, you are going to be thankful to the civilian who is carrying his own weapon and prevents anyone from being harmed, you will not be thinking "I can't believe that regular looking guy had a gun on him this whole time, if that lunatic never came in here, I would have never known.. somebody needs to pass a law to stop that!"
