But again it plays into the whole regime of Fear that often drives the US.

Over the water, I'm not even slightly worried of someone bashing in my door. In the event it does happen, the chances they have a gun are next to zero. The whole point is - remove guns, and you find an oddly level playing field. Ignoring the practical problems of cleaning the US of guns in general, when you do remove guns from a country ALL deaths drop dramatically. I don't know how it is you can find ways to justify that by saying guns make you feel safer. Statistically, they make your environment a hell of a lot more dangerous.
