This story called Toying with gun control from The Washington Times, talks about reasons why guns should not be outlawed. i agree that they should not be outlawed for reasons of protecting yourself and you're family. The article gave an example of an situation in London where gangs were robing shops and killing people that got in there way, in this situation the police were overwhelmed and had to retreat. in the end it was the store owners, firing from rooftops, with there own personal fire arms that protected there own lives, goods and families. I think this is a great example of why guns should not be outlawed.
