So anyone that has broken any law jaywalking, speeding, running a red light can't have a gun? Criminals and mass murders don't care how armed the populous is the apparently still shoot. FBI study found that just 3% of crimes were stopped by a "good guy" with a gun. If my brakes only worked 3% of the time I wouldn't use those brakes. Having a gun in the house makes it 11 times that is 1100% more likely to be shot. According to a IANSA study. Women 8 times more likely to be killed by there spouse with a gun in the house. States with better gun control laws have few gun deaths per capita. There was a massive drop in shooting after the 1994 assault weapons ban and it shot up after in 2004. www.vox.com/2015/10/1/18000520/gun-risk-death Facts are facts and the reality is having a gun only makes FEEL safe it is about your feeling not reality.
