I definately agree. Once we as citizens loose the right to bear arms (or any type of arm besides a machine gun/rocket launcher) we will be suceptible to the govt's every whim.
The one thing all govt's fear is an armed poplulace. The reason im so agianst handguns being banned (if they ever were to be) is that we as people would no longer have the right to carry a gun for personal safety.
My underlying point with the whole handgun thing spoognet is that if handguns go, what will follow - rifles and then finnaly shotguns? Im sure a person could find a similar argument for the abolition of high powered rifles if they can also justify an argument against handguns.
