Because your average gun-carrying citizen in the U.S. is not out there killing people and committing crimes with them. People who kill someone with a gun typically buy it on the street, or steal it or whatever. Most gun crimes in the U.S. revolve around the drug trade and gangs, so they get a bad rap. You dont know what you are talking about.
Interestingly, one of the fastest growing segments of the gun market are single women in big cities................but I guess we should all just take guns away from people so they have to wait for the mighty police to show up and save the day while you are bring mugged/raped huh?

So you refute a perceived dumb post with something stupid? Bravo. I don't recall ever mentioning the NRA or trade shows in my post. I was simply talking about guns in general.
I like how you say average citizens with guns don't kill people. What, did murders or criminals have some kind of supercitizenship prior to committing their crimes? Were they not ordinary citizens before committing crimes?
You seem to be an expert in sociology and criminal pathology so I defer to you. Obviously you feel that because there are no shootings at NRA or trade shows (gatherings of like-minded gun enthusiasts), guns are not a problem. Way to pick your sample size. If you don't see anything wrong with someone carrying an assault riffle to a public forum, I sincerely don't want to live anywhere near you. If you don't see that the average citizen absolutely has no need for an assault riffle, you have problems. I am sure you also support get a free assault riffle when you open a chequing account type offers, don't you?
