Guns are not good self defense.

I'm not sure what you mean by "anti-gun rights" people. Do you mean people who believe in gun control? I believe in it because I've known at least 5 people over the years who have died by their own gun. Once by their own hand and the other 4+ times from someone else. Actually now that I think about it, I know as many people who have died from gun violence as cancer. Shotguns are fine, but rifles that can be converted to automatic weapons and handguns must be in the hands of professionals (i.e. military & police) and not the average Joe or Jane.
