It should be understood that guns are meant for the most part (emphasis on "most part") as defense, and that though they should only be used as the last resort, banning them will only make law-abiding citizens more helpless against attacks and will only keep them out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, because they won't be the ones buying guns off black markets that would eventually carry weapons that criminals would be using. Besides, if guns were banned, driving out to the desert and setting up glass and plastic bottles and cardboard targets to practice shooting at would also be banned, and that is some fun stuff.
