Get you facts straight. Oops, first get some facts.
Buying a gun today is harder than it was in 1963, but we seem to have more problems today than in 1963 when anyone could mail order anything. Obviously it isn't gun availablity that causes the problems.
So easy for a kid to find his parent's gun and shoot himself or his classmates.
It happens. It is a criminal act. % gallon buckets kill more children than do home gun accidents. If you have fright, be frightened of buckets. And swimming pools. And skateboards.
Yes, gun don't kill people, but it's less easy for people to kill or for their kids to have an accident if we make sure it's not so easy to get one.
First off, what is 'easy' about getting a gun and since criminals don't usually buy guns a retail, making it harder for a citizen to do so is simply wrong strategy. Second, guns are used on over 2 million self defense situations every year, most without firing a shot. The mere display of a gun wards off the attacker. I've experienced this personally.
Do you really know what is like to go through a school mass shooting? I do. The gun did NOT leave it's rightful owner's home, walk itself to school, and fire itself into a crowd of kids. A criminally minded kid chose to become a murderer in order to make a wierd statement. Remember, those terrorists who killed thousands on 9-11 did so without a single gun.
If safety is the focus, then guns should not be the target. If guns are the target, then safety is not the focus.
