I've heard of very few cases. Actually I can't remember any off hand.
And how many times do you hear about accidental gun deaths related to having guns in the home. Or guns being stolen from law abiding homes. Or a law abiding citizen going psycho and resorting to using that home gun, or his kids going psycho and using that gun at school.
I agree with Flashpoint, more guns in general equates to less safety.

I say we ban cars. Less cars = less car related accidents = less people being killed. And while we're at it...ban alcohol too. Less alcohol = less drinking and driving accidents = less of our friends being killed in high school because they were too stupid to realize that they shouldn't drink and drive.
Get the picture?
The problem isn't with the people that own handguns and properly store and look after them. The problem is the idiots who don't look after their guns, and use them as IF it were the Wild West.
