Yeah, that's a crock of bullshit, guns are tools of death, if no one had guns, guns wouldn't be neccesary.
Also, guns are for lazy people. If you're really worried about self-defence, and aren't just using it as an excuse to have the power a gun brings, go take a self-defence course, learn a martial art.

Personally, I would rather read the headline "Woman defends herself against rapist with handgun", instead of "Man on trial for raping and murdering woman". Defending oneself from criminals is not "vigilante justice", it is self-defense. Unless, of course, you can figure out a way for the police to be at the scene in a matter of nano-seconds to prevent murders, robberies and rapes.

Because only good people can get guns, right? I'd rather see either of those than 'Virginia Tech gunman kills dozens'. Society is not an arms race, guns just promote instability and violence and places without guns are almost invariably safer than those with them.

And like an anarchist society, all it take is one person with a gun to render it unsafe. Can you make all guns not exist? No, and until you can, I will prefer to meet deadly threat, with deadly force.

In countries with strong gun laws guns are almost unheard of. People like you just have a fetish for the power to kill. One person with a gun is far safer than a whole nation sitting on their guns, looking nervously at their neighbours and just waiting for an excuse to kill somebody.

With perhaps six months of self-defence training, a woman could most likely defeat a rapist quite easily, since they're distracted by their lust, and aren't expecting their 'target' to fight back. Again, a situation where a handgun in unnecessary.
Also, no, I don't believe I am in error. If no civilian owned a gun except perhaps hunters, there would be no need for guns because people would actually have to learn to defend themselves. You claim that you need your handgun for self defence, but how many people actually take it out and practice with it. You can't just pull out a handgun and expect to just be able to shoot a man dead, unless you're a cold heartless bastard.
That's why guns aren't necessary. There are far more effective, non-lethal means of self-defence
