Geezz, you don't have to give me a list of excuses to own a gun....just tell it as it is, you like guns that's why you own it, telling me about 2nd amendment, to protect yourself from government and police...haha, that's really funny. I think probably 1% people own guns for those reasons and they are not in touch with reality.
If you just look around, read the news, watch evening news, you can see that guns are used in doing bad much more than in doing good. Now, may be many instances are not reported where gun saved lifes, but still the evidance right now indicates that guns are bad for the society.
Yes, there are many reasons in our society that caused all these violence and gun is only the tool that people use. But taking gun away is gonna save lifes.
If you say my dual celery, dual monitor and bunch of junk computer that I put all my time and money to build have 1% of chance killing my son, I will give it up in a heart beat. Just don't know why gun mean so much to you guys when it have such a big chance of doing bad things to your family!! I SAY CHANCE, I DIDN'T SAY IT WILL DEFINITELY HAPPEN TO YOU.
