You have to believe that the more helpless you are, the safer you are from criminals.

You have to believe that ordinary people, ordinary people in the presence of a gun turn into slaughtering blood-thirsty butchers and they resort to normal ordinary behavior as soon as the gun is removed.
…
That we must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time, and anyone who owns a gun out of fear of such an lunatic is paranoid.
…
That most people can’t be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will abide by, because they can be trusted.
…
That 1 firearm owner in 10,000 will commit an act of violence in his or her lifetime, and this is far more frightening than the 25% of drivers who will cause a serious or fatal accident.

That you should rely on police in lieu of your gun, just as you should rely on a dentist in lieu of your toothbrush.
…
That outlawing the carrying of guns will stop people from doing so, just as lowering the speed limit stops reckless driving.
…
That suggesting teachers be armed is an outrageous suggestion for a “civilized” society, which is why the Swiss and Israelis do it.
…
That it’s safer with less guns, which is why lunatics shoot up schools instead of gun shows or police stations.
