The OP's original question is valid. I vote NONE.
However, the OP's subsequent arguments seem to come from a "victim" mindset. I overlooks the fact that, without gun laws, we would all have access to the same weapons, thus empowering each of us - law-abiding, or not, with the tools to effect a null outcome, or for those adequately trained and skilled, a positive self-defense outcome (and reduction in the number of those who choose to do harm).
