...a 200-pound rapist can have his way with any 100-pound woman he wants."
That's about all I have at the moment, but I'm sure there are other examples out there. Of course, the idea that all guns will just disappear with the "right" legislation is hogwash anyway. I was just trying to think of a number of arguments where I can lure the antis (and those who aren't necessarily, but are falling into the kneejerk reaction mode over recent events) in with what they think would be IDEAL- only to hit them with the stark reality that it would be anything but.
Maybe references to past events where armed governments freely massacred an unarmed populace? References to the UK being unarmed in the face of German invasion?
References to being the last stand against tyranny may not be effective at all with the intended audience, though...
