The bigest problems with having so many guns is that.
1) the nutters can get them more easily.
2) borderline nutters can get them easily.
3) young kids can, and do, get them to play with and kill others by
mistake much too often.
4) killing or injuring someone at a distance is so easy,
Have any statistics to support any of those contentions?
And the reason that guns should be much more closely controlled is
that with almost all other weapons you have to get close to the
person you injure/kill.
Uh, you _want_ to get close to someone who is trying to kill you
because?
But by controlled I mean that all guns and ammunition should be
easily
identifiable and the original owner made equally responsible for
their
use or misuse, with no exceptions at all, unless that owner could
prove that they had sold the gun/ammo to another identifiable
responsible person.
Regrettably at this time that could not happen in any country where
the law often lets people totally avoid responsibility.
However if it could be achieved the level of gun related
crime/accidents would drop at an amazing rate.
Pie in the sky. Tell us a proven method of accomplishing all this
"easy identification" that does not create another huge government
beaurocracy.
Why don't you guys take this discussion to GUNS "R" US?
