This sums things up nicely

Professor John Lott has posted a good pro-gun article from John Stossel.

Read it here

Stossel is right on point as usual. I think he sums up the entire pro-gun argument succinctly with the following.

"But no one favors "arming everyone to the teeth" (whatever that means). Instead, gun advocates favor freedom, choice and self-responsibility. If someone wishes to be prepared to defend himself, he should be free to do so. No one has the right to deprive others of the means of effective self-defense...."

Freedom, Choice, Self-Responsibility - I think that covers the 3 big points of the pro-gun / pro-rights crowd.
