Can I ask where this method of crime prevention has ever worked?

Criminals prefer unarmed victims. Period. Joe Schmuck with his rusty .22 Jennings revolver isn't going to go toe to toe with my Kimber .45 and my training to place two to the chest and one to the head and then to empty the mag and reload. The $20 in my billfold isn't worth it. He's going to go find the Emo guy down the street smoking a joint with a peace sign pinned to his shirt.

Tell me what happens if Joe Schmuck decided he wants the $20 billfold more than you think and shoots you first?
There is just as strong an argument to say that those who place no value on peoples lives or property are going to evolve along with the "counter tactics" and rather than pointing a gun and demanding your money they will shoot first and take the money. Boy thats going to a be a fun society when "shoot first and ask questions later" becomes a national policy.

The problem is that the sheep will never understand the concept of violence. Their Utopia is to take away the objects used for violence; they cannot comprehend that violence only ends with a greater level of violence in return. A little bleach in the gene pool, if you will pardon the seemingly cold statement.

Ever notice that sheep don't kill each other?
Ever heard of a sheep taking pipe bombs and guns into the shearing shed and killing 20 of his flock-mates?
I am going to agree with Spike on this one, the intransigence of gun owners and their lobby groups will in the end backfire.
