Criminal can buy a gun from shop like buy a piece of cake, and no one knows the man is a criminal before he uses the gun, moreover, citizens cannot bring the gun with them every day, but criminals could. So the weapon brings more damage than benefits. <br />For instance, in December 14, 2012, a school shooting happened in Sandy Hook Elementary School; the criminal, Adam Lanza, killed 20 first-grade children and four teachers by rifle, then he killed himself by his handgun. I believe most of teachers in this school have guns, but they won’t bring it to school everyday, which means their guns can be only used for hunting or fun, not protect themselves, but criminals do the the crime and bring the gun whenever they want, it’s hard for citizens to prepare and ready for these sudden crime. Even though citizens can bring guns with them everyday, but do they have courage to fire back or use the gun point someone? I think the answer would be no, because we are living in a real world, not in movie.

It requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.
