Accidental shootings are tragic in that the parents didn't show good judgement. Rage shootings by troubled kids are also tragic but are not a good enough reason to prevent me from being able to legally protecting myself.

Only deterrent is an armed police officer?? How? People run away all the time when they see lights come on or hear alarms.
Maybe victims of crimes will soar, but why?
Sure, parents didnt use good judgement, thats because here in the USofA we give guns to any and everyone. Eliminate handing out guns and you eliminate bad parents getting them.
How many times has a person broken into your house and you had to use your gun to defend yourself? I bet not as many times as a 6 year old has shot himself in the head.
How many times has your dad had to use his gun?
3.98 DEATHS PER THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES!
0.4 deaths per thousand people in Canada??
0.15 in England??
0.02 in Japan??
Come on L-Pink. Just think about it.
I cant say for sure, but i doubt if gun control laws got laid down tomorrow, criminals with guns would just start running wild shooting innocent people...Sounds like thats what you are saying.
