"It's more of an argument for enacting and enforcing the right (and just) laws. Laws like gun bans should insult every civilized person."

Once again, this -- along with the rest of your argument -- is well put. Like you, I have noticed a basic, cynical mistrust for people in general runs through anti-gun arguments.

The problem never has been firearms, it's been a lack of education about them/lack of respect for them.

And those who would use them for ill purposes WANT easy, unarmed targets.
