I understand where you're coming from, but while they might be tragic, every one of those "What ifs" is a lot less damaging than explosives have the potential to be. Junior shooting himself by accident with daddy's gun is terrible, but junior leveling half the block by accidentally starting a fire and touching off daddy's armory is worse.
Someone earlier in the thread pointed out that freedom ends where it crosses over the threshold of putting your fellow citizens at undue risk. By buying a gun, you assume the responsibility and risk of owning one. But by buying crew served weapons and explosives, you're asking your neighbors to assume those risks as well, and that's neither right nor fair.
I have a liberal friend who refuses to come over because she feels I have guns (as she knows I'm pro 2nd, but have never told her if I have guns or how many). She feels my owning does infringe on her rights, because should someone break into my house, and steal my supposed guns, they then could go over to her house and kill her.
Likewise, if she had kids they wouldn't be allowed over, because if I had kids, they might find my supposed guns, and accidentally shoot her kids.
In her thinking, my, or anyones owning guns puts her at risk.
This is why I played devils advocate, too many liberal friends. I know how they...er...think!?!?!
