People are killed by the thousand by drunk drivers. People are killed by the thousands in auto accidents. Cigarettes kill thousands and people jump off tall buildings. You can ban all the guns in the country and all you have done is disarm law abiding citizens while criminals have unrestricted access to all types of guns. In cities with the strictest gun laws people can get a gun faster than they can get a job. Guns are a small factor in killing. People make poor choices. Do we ban planes because they can be flown into buildings? Is it the planes that kill people? Let's get real.
