are much larger than the odds they will use their gun to defend
themselves against intruders, muggers and killers."

Next they should legalize drugs so that when a person wants to kiss the
universe goodbye, he can just go to sleep.

himself, he is entitled to an effective means of doing so. The wishes of
the Nanny State are irrelevant.

I am reminded of how it was impossible to find a sharp
razor in Orwell's 1984.
