Db, actually, we can and we do, all the time. Ringer's Paradox, "A freedom restricted is a freedom preserved," gives us to expect there will be some circumscribing somewhere.

The varied iterations of liberalized private concealed carry, ranging from Vermont's no-permit-required to concealed carry license documents along with full faith and credit provisions, have all produced precipitous, permanent decline in violent crime. There seem to be many ways to make this work.

In the end the "pro-gunners" you speak of are the effectual, the genuine anti-crime and anti-genocide social force. In the former, the frankly stupid criminal is suppressed; in the latter, criminal action by the state becomes impractical -- they run out of Einsatzkommandos right quick. I like being against these evils and I like being in a position to do something about them!
