Yes, but attempting to disarm law-abiding citizens isn't going to
do it.
Can't you get it through your head that criminals don't comply with
your
silly regulations? All you can hope to accomplish is disarming the
very
people who might stop an armed evil-doer. It's almost as if that's
your
intention, to make it easier for mass shooters to carry out their
plots
so you can point to them as a reason to confiscate our weapons.

okay, so how many crimes have been stopped by armed law-abiding
citizens

Who knows? The media shies away from such stories in favor of screaming
about mass shootings with "assault weapons" that don't actually even
exist. Armed citizens who stop crimes don't fit their agenda and so are
ignored.

if it's the centerpiece of why people have guns for protection, those
numbers should be readily available and shouted as loud as NRA can
shout. the fact that this isn't happening should make you wonder about
this

The "centerpiece of why people have guns for protection" is that it is a
guaranteed Constitutional right.

the second amendment only mentions "a well regulated militia". I'm still
waiting for you to provide a copy of those "regulations"

Even if no one ever stops a crime due
to being armed that right still exists. You also must consider the fact
that a criminal is less likely to commit crimes in an area where he
knows nearby citizens may be armed.

and once again if that is true, the NRA should be shouting those facts
as loud as they can
