I don't have to explain it because I never said a law-abiding citizen shouldn't own a gun.
The point is, I'm a law-abiding citizen but that could change pretty quickly if I was sufficiently angry or liquored or both. If I have a pistol in my belt, I'm considerably more dangerous. The same can be said for anyone else. If I've got a Louisville Slugger instead of a Smith&Wesson, I'm going to have a much harder time clipping my enemies. The way I read it, your claim was that "if you want to kill somebody, you'll do it even if you don't have a gun". I might still try, but I won't be as efficient or successful.
