I have owned guns responsibly for 40 years, why should I have them taken off me because some nutter who should not have had access to guns killed innocent people.... why should I be penalized for that.
Lets ban cars as they kill more people than any thing else, lets ban booze because people can get violent. lets ban other things because it is good to ban.
OK do you want a real answer to point 1?
And as a responsible person really think about this, why should you have your guns taken off of you? What if I told you the answer was to save the life of a child?
Yes I agree that it is sad that the actions of a few people can spoil it for others but if the overall outcome is saving the lives of other people then it is a small sacrifice.
In regards to your second point, as somebody else mentioned, guns are meant to kill, you can argue they are meant to defend yourself but defend how? By shooting someone . . . . therefore to kill.
Cars are meant to transport people.
You can't compare those things.
** P.S Guys can I just say that I'm glad we are having this discussion, of course we all have very strong views on this as we should but I think so far all of the views and posts have been very mature and well handled, Good Job!
Let's keep the discussion going with the same respect.
