Why stop with guns? There are no practical reason to own fast cars, or fast bikes, or booze, etc. all of which get people killed. Sure silly argument but I don't think most people want practical need to dictate what they choose to enjoy doing.

EDIT: And you likely get a skewed view from the news as if everybody here in the USA is dodging bullets regularly. I've never seen a criminal shooting, or even heard one to my knowledge in 57 years.

guns make our lives safer, that has been proven constantly throughout history.

the places in America that take guns away from people are some of the most dangerous places to live

You can still buy handguns, shotguns and rifles here in Australia, just not semi-autos.

Half the world wants to see America destroyed. Plus we just had two people blow up a few hundred civilians and engage in a day long firefight with police. Right now it is a dangerous time to be an American, and that is why we have the 2nd Amendment (one of the reasons anyways).

(2 centuries BTW)

Overstating the case massively. I actually can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

So you want to hurt the unemployed by taking away a form of self employment as a source of income?
