It probably comes as no surprise that I disagree with you. I hate guns, and think we would be better off without them. The 'only the criminals will have guns' argument doesn't hold water when you study other countries that have banned guns.
It also doesn't help that this country is a violent one. Comparing the instances of death by firearms in the UK, Canada, and the U.S.A.:
Canada (firearms are legal) - 144
UK (firearms are illegal) - 14
USA - 9,369
