handguns should be off the streets because people tend to use the for violence instead of self defense.
In 2014 A doctor used his concealed handgun to disable a homicidal gunman who had began firing in a hospital in Darby, Pennsylvania. One hospital worker was killed, but police credited the doctor with preventing a mass shooting. This is because 40% of guns are sold with no background checks.

handguns should also be band because legally owned guns are frequently stolen and used by criminals.
