I wonder how much interaction you have actually had in the use of the simple tool known as the gun. As in actual shooting experience. Only reason I ask is that most every person I know that has taken the time to learn a few simple safety rules and has become proficient in the use of a handgun, rifle, or shotgun. No longer fears a simple tool. That is exactly the same as any other that it will not just jump in the hand and act on its own.
It is unfortunate that you were a victim of a criminal assault and it is not even close to being ok or acceptable that these things happen. It is an unfortunate fact that there will always be predators as long as there is prey. But I feel fairly confident the criminals/tyrants do not prefer unsafe working environments such a places would be detrimental to their retirement plan. There for its my conclusion that their the biggest supporters of gun control.

The following quotation is sometimes attributed to Thomas Jefferson:
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one."
This is not something Jefferson wrote, but rather comes from a passage he included in his "Legal Commonplace Book." The passage is from Cesare Beccaria's Essay on Crimes and Punishments.
