As stated, it's beyond the point of no return anyway, as there are just too many guns in circulation.
Yes, I know I know you are right. My in-laws are from the American south and would not countenance revoking that amendment.
"I want to be able to protect my family"
"Guns don't kill, people kill"
Telling them that the firearms fatality rate in USA is about
40 times that in UK doesn't wash with them.
Or that guns do kill as the 28 deaths, mostly seven year old children, at Sandy Hook elementary school clearly demonstrates.
Sure, it needs someone unhinged with access to firearms to do that kind of thing. But access they have.
"If some person wants to kill another, they will find a weapon to use." But could a nutter kill 28 people in one fell swoop with a knife? It's clearly a nonsensical justification.
Firearms are unique in that they can cause injuries or fatalities at distance. Could the JFK assassination happened if Lee Harvey Oswald been armed with a knife................
