Although I am leaning strongly in favor of banning semi-automatic assault rifles, I feel that such a bill would face sufficient legislative opposition.
HOWEVER . . .
I STRONGLY (and I cannot emphasize my feelings enough) support immediate banning of high-capacity (more than ten rounds) magazines.
The state of New York has already enacted such a law. But, Governor Cuomo is not as generous as I am. The state of New York has banned ammunition magazines with capacity in excess of SEVEN rounds.
Heck, seven-round magazines don't even exist. If somebody wanted a seven-round magazine, (s)he would have to special order/manufacture it.

Those with a history of violence and most of those who are mentally ill(depends of the nature of the illness) should be denied the right to own a gun. I favor concealed carry permits, but only with strict safety training.

Besides, I concede the use of guns for protection of one's family (though I won't speculate on the kinds of guns needed for this usage). My claim is that there is a greater general risk of owning a gun IN THIS LOW CRIME AREA than not. Maybe I'm wrong about that. But I feel relatively certain that, in general, a gun is more likely to be used to harm someone who is not a criminal than it will be used to protect anyone from harm. And in this area the chances of using a gun for protection are so low, I'm not sure how much this last claim would be undermined were we to switch to a discussion about specific risk or the expected value of specific risks. I concede that owning a gun for protection, even in this area, might be a rational decision

First, it is not clear how accurate these numbers are, how they vary over different locations, conditions, gun ownership knowledge and practices, etc. In addition, obviously there are numerous kinds of outcomes of various degrees of seriousness. Hence, it is not clear at all how to calculate the the EV of gun ownership for protection in the home. The risk assessment is different in Moscow with a low crime rate than in a ghetto with a high rate of violent crime.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like stuffed animals as much as your normal middle-aged man, but don't you think you'd rather have a smoke detector in case of a fire, a poncho if you're stuck out in the weather while hiking, a donut tire if you get a flat, an air bag if you get in a head-on collision, etc, etc? I mean, maybe if you were being attacked by a band of rabid Japanese schoolgirls having a stuffed animal with you that you could throw as a diversion might actually be handy. I just can't think of too many other scenarios where I'd need one.

Feeling secure and having a sense of some control is a necessity for many people. Some people don't or cannot control their environment and so are in constant danger or feel they are. A gun, returns some of the feeling back. It doesn't do anything for my sense of security. However, I still do have a couple of stuffed animals from my childhood and as gifts, so who am I to judge.

What I, and I believe the others are saying is that a weapon can be a usefull tool in certain situations and while some may elect to not have that tool at their disposal, I would like to be able to have it as one of my options. Any sane person would prefer that an intruder in their home simply leave when told. Having a weapon forestalls the intruders potential response of "or what."

The smartest thing to do if you suspect people are trying to get into your house would be to exit through the nearest door or window. Then call the police. When they exit the house the police will be there to nab them, or you can slash their tires and have fun watching them trying to escape with your insured television.

And you will have to disclose the death on the sale of the home, which will cost you $10,000s. You will have to live with the fact that you probably killed an innocent person. Chances are someone that entered your home unexpectedly in Moscow would be an intoxicated college student whose biggest threat would be vomits on your living room carpet.

I'm not against owning a gun, but that scenario is a stupid reason to use a gun. I would use a gun if I was out of the immediate reach of the police and there was a clear and present danger to my life or the life of another. With the possible exception if I was robbed constantly with no help from the police or insurance companies.

Being prepared is not the same thing as being paranoid. If someone is crazy enough to break into your home while you are there, you can go ahead and classify that as a situation fraught with danger, in which case having some means to protect yourself might be called for. There are plenty of reasonable scenarios where a would-be burglar happens upon a member of the household when he thought the place was empty that could end up very badly for the person he stumbled upon. If the burglar knew you were at home and invaded the home anyway, then you've definitely got a problem if you are happily unarmed.
