4. I have a revolver that could be used for self-defense

So far it has not been used in that capacity - and I hope that it never is.

The premise that 'banning the private ownership of guns will prevent gun deaths' is disingenuous in that it offers hope that the ban will stop the crime of murder that just happens to be committed with a gun. The real problem is murder, not murder with a gun.
