    Why does that scare you? It does not bother me in the slightest! You could also say the same thing about...cars,truck,cranes,umbrellas, torches,wrenches, what ever tool you choose....I assume you are taking about death and all of the above can accomplish the same feat.

    Come on. Be reasonable.
    How many toddlers and kids are murdered every year with umbrellas, torches, or tools compared to the negligent ownership and storage of handguns?

    How many toddlers are murdered? And how are they murdered? If you meant toddlers accidentally killed, then I go back to accidental drownings. Far more......far more.

    Here we go again.
    It makes no sense when one compares toddler deaths from irresponsible gun ownership to car or water deaths.
    No one is going to restrict automobile use or swimming in pools. Autos, swimming, recreation, etc all serve a positive, quality of life enhancing purpose.
    Can you say the same of a handgun? They serve only one purpose. To maim or kill other human beings. Restricting them to only responsibly trained owners can only have a positive outcome.
    I don't say ban them outright. Your constitution doesn't allow that. But make them a lot more difficult for the average idiot to own by having mandatory safety training as a prerequisite of handgun ownership.

    My question was simple...why are you scared? Simple...I'm not in the least...You should feel more safe living in the land of no guns...Why do you care? And the age old statement ..if guns where outlawed, only outlaws would have guns... I don't own one and could care less who does, does not or who carries...just don't care. Eight thousand people a day die in the US of A.... that is just society's way of making room for the next born... Just sayin...

    If we can save just one life by filling in all those swimming pools with concrete than we have accomplished a lot.

    Because what matters is stopping senseless accidents...........correct?

    "BRASS" = MADDNESS = NON CURABLE DESEASE

    Preventing violence of any kind would be better , than fighting its effects , but it requires education and better recognition of human brain advantages over the tools used against principles of life .

    Let's see ... Paris - 12 dead, 2 day running gun battle throughout the city ....

    Garland Tx, 2 gunmen dead, 1 security guard wounded (treated and released at the hospital) ....
