there are people in England seriously discussing regulating and banning
knives. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4581871.stm [You just can't
make this stuff up].

Baseball bats, screw drivers, chisels, tire irons and yes,
automobiles need to be banned. Perhaps after all the inanimate
objects have been controlled, boxing gloves should be required to be
worn at all times as fists are a dangerous weapon.

All those things were made for and have other uses. Guns have one
use: to kill or maim people and other animals. If you want boxing
gloves, you can't fire your gun.

Not sure what the Canuckistani (or other countries) founding fathers saw
as a use for firearms, but the US (old white) guys saw it a little
differently than you:

Some years ago a congressman speaking before Congress stated that the
2nd amendment wasn't about shooting Bambi. It was about shooting
politicians who were screwing with the voting public. His speech was
deleted from the Congressional Record.
