So the government wants to take all the guns from honest people but can not take them from the organized crime, gangs, mobs, and criminals. So does that really sound like a good thing?

Most robberies occur on the street (44.5%), directly against a person, and are called a strong-arm robbery. The weapon of choice for robbers is the firearm (42.2%) with knives or cutting instruments second (8.6%). Strong-arm tactics like punching, pushing, kicking, or threats are used mainly on the street (39.9%).

When someone robs you in your home (14.3%) it’s called home invasion robbery. Most people have chosen to outsource their safety and security, instead of taking the very real and necessary steps to ensure their own well being.

Sadly, this attitude is the reason so many criminals feel safe and secure when committing their crimes. They know that the chances of being stopped by the average citizen are pretty low, and the likelihood of law enforcement arriving before they finish their crime is even smaller.
