Thats a true point, but even though people die daily in car accidents caused by stupidity (alcohol included) in the states dosen't mean they will push to outlaw cars. (everyone owns a car)
Guns are different in every way. The bill of rights has an amendment that allows us to "bear arms" but, people forget that bill was written in a time when the citizens of this country were also the protectors. Things are not like that anymore. it's 2009, we have a military, we have massive police forces. The singal citizen is no longer his soul protector.
Nowdays the only time I hear about guns, its really bad shit. And usually because of some idiot who dosen't even have the intelligence to own and operate a gun in the first place leaving it for some child who dosen't have the experience to know better.
Just an assumption, but I dont think you would hand your 4 year old the keys to your car and tell them to go play. That would be stupid. Why people let children play near or around firearms is beyond me.
