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.

so what about the first amendment.. back then it wasn't used to protect porn, should we change it b/c it was written a few hundred years ago..
