* Taking away [[gun]]s will prevent gun crime.  (Unfortunately, if good people get rid of their guns,  criminals will not.  In the [[Luby's massacre]] in Killeen, Texas, people were essentially sitting ducks which resulted in the deaths of 24 people and 20 people being injured.  One of the survivors, Suzanna Hupp, said she was unable to stop the incident because Texas at the time did not allow people to carry concealed weapons.  She later became a politician and pushed for legislation to allow Texans to carry a concealed weapon to help prevent/limit massacres like this from happening in Texas again).
