As I was going through life one day, I read about two horrible crimes, of the same kind, carried out in two different towns on the same day. Some person in both towns had taken a gun and killed several people for no sane reason at all.
Because of this event, both towns enacted laws to put a stop to this ever happening again.
In one town, run by liberals, a law was passed that made it illegal for any person, in that town, to be able to have any gun on themselves or in their homes at all.
In the other town, run by conservatives, a law was passed that required every citizen in that town to purchase a gun, have it in their home and carry that gun on their person at all times when outside.
Both of these laws were extreme, but guess what happened as a result?
In the town where no guns were allowed, armed robbery and home invasion escalated because, since the law abiding citizens had no guns and the criminals did, the criminals had the upper hand and took full advantage over their victims. The same would happen if a computer had no firewall or a person left their doors and windows open all the time, etc.
In the other town where everybody was armed, crime dropped dramatically and criminals went to other towns where no one could protect themselves.
Also, in the conservative town, strict gun control was severely placed on all person's with guns where: all weapons must be registered to the owner, ballistic tests on all weapons must be done, making them totally responsible for making sure all firearms were locked up where no unauthorized person could possibly get at those firearms, especially all children in those homes.
The owners of those weapons could not even let any other person so much as touch his weapons, even his own spouse or teenage son or best friend.
These stories, have proven out in real life, that where 'guns are up', 'crime is down'.

Don't totally agree...too much restriction in the conservative town, but good moral. If only the people who need to understand this lesson would pay attention.
