From the desk of President Joe Biden:
It is necessary to keep handguns from the evil doers in our society. Selling even law abiding citizens handguns eventually creates a stock that may filter into the hands of criminals or rampagers through theft or unsupervised private sales. Join me in banning handguns in civilian use. As the experts on the gun forums say:
Still the odds of you ever having to use a gun defensively are still so incredibly slim. Even if you do, you will only fire 3 rounds at most. One round of 9mm will blow your lungs out. Why should civilians have such weapons when the odds of usage are so low - as said in the forums of gun supporters!
Given these odds why supply the instruments of thousands of suicides and the lethal tools of urban gun violence? We support the 2nd Amendment and the supporting use of bolt action rifles for hunting. As Senator Amy Klobuchar said as she ran against me, in evaluating gun laws: “Would this hurt my Uncle Dick in the deer stand?” As I said, a simple shotgun shot through the door or in the air will suffice. Semiautomatic weapons are too hard for the average citizen to master.
A handgun ban will not hurt Uncle Dick but will save lives!
Thank you.
President Joseph Biden.

My point repeatedly is that you may carry what you want but to say that a 5 is enough gun is optimal is just foolish. It is a compromise due to circumstance or based on a misunderstanding of risk and statistics. The average doesn't always happen and one should think about a reasonable criterion in the more intense critical incidents. That level of significance is (from reasonable professionals) a semi and a reload. Spouting the mantra of carrying more isn't optimal is just evidence for the banning of higher capacity guns as the latter have the potential for rampages and gang usage.
