Also see the table at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence where the USA enjoys the neighborhood of much less fortunate Latin American countries at the top of the firearm homicide rates and is pretty at the bottom at the non-firearm homicide rates. The conclusion is easily deduced.

In my home its the extra training and practice that means they will meet with two carefully aimed shots designed to stop them in their tracks. Nightstand gun is unpictured, but for the people with sane views on gun ownership, it is the .357 my father carried when he was an undercover narcotics officer... (for the whackos from trashcanistan or where ever, its the big scary boom boom gun that causes all the world strife)

The preservation of personal liberty requires that the government be a little afraid of its people. As the founders of the United States wrote in their Declaration of Independence, governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed". The "consent" of an unarmed citizenry is seldom in question. On the other hand, a society in which everyone is armed tends toward total anarchy. The trick is to find a suitable "middle ground" in which enough responsible citizens are armed to prevent excesses on the part of the government, but the government is strong enough to control the irresponsible and criminal elements present in any society. We're still working on that here in the U.S.
