This would leave good people unable to protect themselves.
Protect themselves from who? When was the last time you heard of "ordinary citizens" getting shot at by gang members? Gang members are busy shooting other gang members. And when people do get caught in the crossfire, it's in places like clubs and malls - public places. Do we want people walking around in the mall with a loaded hunting rifle on their back?
It's the "ordinary citizens" who are committing these massacres. Organized crime didn't walk into an elementary school and kill 20 kids. The mafia didn't order two high school students to shoot up Columbine. It's the average, slightly-unstable guy in the neighborhood, who could easily and legally obtain weapons he had absolutely no need for, who committed these crimes.
