Snowplow, I think you have too much faith in people "thinking twice" about pulling a gun.

Consider what happens with drunk driving. Hell, consider road rage, and people flying off the handle. Consider what it's like to be at your wits end or desperate. The country is gulped with people who could pass some test but would easily lose their shit.

Your opinion does not matter in this.

Guns gave us our freedom. period There is no debate to be had. The Brits did their damned best to remove weapons from colonists. Look how that turned out.

I'd rather have a few loan crazies shoot off someone than a government go tyrannical and lock down everyone. At least I have a fighting chance when the storm troopers appear in full riot gear. I'd be happier knowing I died defending myself.

Driving kills more people every day than gun violence ever will. Lets go ahead and ban driving!

Yeah no, the world isn't perfect. Shit happens, people die. It sucks, but sometimes it is possible to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
