What? That makes no sense what so ever, unless you are trapped into
the "survivalist" cave-dweller image fed to you by Hollywood in the
early 1980's.

It has been stated explicitly that the greater the legal availability
of firearms, the greater the resultant deaths by firearms. This has
been said regardless of the facts, statistics and sources repeatedly

And as has been said many times and in many ways, religion is a lousy
basis for legislation.
