i'd bet more people have been killed their own guns or guns that were stolen from home owners than criminals killed in self defense.

I agree with everything you said but the above, my kids 6 and 4 have been taught about guns and what to do if they encounter one,
1. Dont touch
2. get away
3. tell an adult
I even went as far as leaving guns laying around the house for them to find, unloaded of course, to make sure they understand the concept. They do quite well. The concept is education which most are ignorant of, instead they just run around in fear of an inanimate object that can do no harm just sitting there.
Like any tool its the user that determines its use.
I think the prison system is loaded with way too many people that dont need to be there, I dont have the time for examples but they sure aint violent criminals.
