Home invasion.
I've had bullets fired into my apartment before. Some idiot driving by shooting randomly. You may advocate this is a reason to get rid of guns... Perhaps. But I don't see how it is feasibly possible to recall 200 million guns off the streets. Never going to happen. This society is armed to the teeth. You can get law abiding citizens to give up guns. But idiots like the person who shot through my window, they never will. You can arrest them after the fact (maybe, guy was never caught). But banning guns will just leave the average person defenseless.
