No, not one bit. You're only looking at one side of the equation.
Ever consider how many lives are saved or protected because of our right to bear arms? I forget the exact statistic but in Great Britain and Japan, you're chances of being robbed and murdered in your own home are substantially higher than that of those in the United States.
In those countries where it is illegal to own a gun, burglars commonly break into people's homes in broad daylight. This is very uncommon in the U.S. where most burglaries happen at night and usually occur when the inhabitants are not at home.
The argument that owning a gun increases your chances of getting shot in a robbery is weak. In other countries, armed burglars shoot their unarmed victims.
The police and the military should not be the only ones allowed to legally own guns, that would give them too much power. The first rule of running a dictatorship is to take away the guns of the citizenry.
guns are only for hurting death and destruction. Even in alleged protection you are hurting or killing someone else. You still didn't answer my question

Yes I did. The very fact that guns cause hurt, death, and destruction also make them a deterrent to such actions.
