Are we going to worry about the demand, and teaching our kids that killing people is wrong, just like drinking and driving is wrong, or are we going to ban guns and alcohol and hope for the best?
Seriously, by saying that guns are ONLY used....here...this is what you said..
Again, the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
I don't even know what to say.

I never said anyting about banning alcohol. alcohol may cause accidents, but it isn't used to outrght kill people, big difference.
Yes we should teach people. But the fact of the matter is, and the situation shows it, that guns help people kill too easily, to indiscrimintely.
Guns were made to kill. Alcohol wasn't. Huge difference.
And when was the last time you used your gun for defence? Even if you have (cause I feel a story coming on here) the fact is most are not and it's the biggest red hering in the whole argument.
The second ammendment gives one the right to bear arms. If you look at it closely, it says nothing about guns. In fact, it doesn't saymuch about how people take it now.
But if arms means weapons, dos that mean you have the right to weapons grade plutonium?
And I'd prefer it if you didn't attack me by saying 'this is the dumbest and most ignornat thing ever.'
If you got a point make it.
P.S. very sorry that you hate stats...
