I fail to see how criminals have guns so I need to have one too is a logical course toward ending violence.
In fact, scenario number one: guns are banned, criminals can still get guns while the victims cannot legally obtain them. Criminals shoot victims. Violence.
Scenario number two: everyone can have a gun, criminals still get guns, both the victims and the criminals shoot at each other. Violence.
Where does the violence end, if not in banning guns or ensuring stricter gun laws?
A logical course of action in ending the violence, I believe, is not in allowing the victims to have guns to perpetuate the violence enacted upon them by the criminals. What must be done is to find a way to ensure there is no way criminals can illegally obtain guns, but how to go about doing that is unclear. I am certain a way could be discovered, however.
