I don't think guns should be banned because they also protect people and are a good tool in the right hands.
Let's not forget that for every life you saved by owning a legal gun, another x were lost.
Your resolution sounds to me something like "drink driving is bad, but I'm really good at it so its ok".
Another factor is that you sound like you may be one of the people that would own a gun regardless of the legislation.
The bottom line here is, the end goal is to have less deaths. I don't have statistics handy, but I'm sure they support the obvious outcome. Proposing that there would be more deaths without a new legislation than with, frankly, is completely preposterous.
