Cars kill people too.
The purpose of a car is for transport , the purpose of a gun is to maim or kill something- hardly a fair comparison.

Guns are used for defence too and sport. Most bullets are not used to kill/maim people. Ever heard of agriculture?
Cars, mainly transport but also collectable.

A gun is designed to fire a bullet which is designed to maim or cripple. The fact you believe guns were ever designed for anything else shows up a real lack of understanding basic facts. You state ” have I ever heard of agriculture” which I assume you mean culling animals etc so how is that not maiming or killing? Cars are an essential part of modern day life, no common layman needs to own a gun unless you are shaking in trepidation at walking to a local paper shop. Guns fuel violence, they don’t solve it. I am still waiting for an explanation why there are more gun related crimes in America than the UK per head of population but expect it will be a long wait.

Trump ” Guns aren’t a problem” .. well in a country where anyone can wander down the road with a machine gun on their way to walmart as it offends their ” constitutional right” not bearing arms, what do you expect when 26 are murdered in a church? Apparently “mental illness” is the problem.. how can anyone define or identify mental illness in someone popping in for a coffee and a mini gun on their way to work. Firearms should be restricted to a very small number of people, no one should ” have the right” to carry something which can end multiple lives so easily
Maffa when was the last time you walked down a street in the states and seen someone carrying a gun? In most states there it is illegal to carry a gun in public.And its there right just like we have the right to free speech. IM pro gun and always will be but NO ONE should be able to keep an SA80 or AR18 or anything like that cause they have the right to bare arms
” So many people die annually from gunfire in the US that the death toll between 1968 and 2011 eclipses all wars ever fought by the country. According to research by Politifact, there were about 1.4 million firearm deaths in that period, compared with 1.2 million US deaths in every conflict from the War of Independence to Iraq.”
Think about that… The stats on the link make sober reading.

Fully automatic weapons are strictly controlled in the USA, yet the shooter in the Las Vegas atrocity openly and legally bought “bump-stocks” which enabled his semi-automatic to become almost fully automatic. Ironically when it was suggested that those sort of gadgets be banned, they then sold out.
Thats different Ge and you know it !!!
Soz read that wrong
I was sitting on the fence on this one, but it is ridiculous that gadgets are legally sold that bypass the law on fully automatic weapons.

so if I don’t see a gun it’s fine as long as they have it in a pocket or under a jacket.. makes perfect sense. It’s no ones ” right” to carry something that can kill so easily. Are you in favour of people carrying knives as well as their right and if not why not- what’s the difference? A gun is far more dangerous than any knife will ever be. I’m still waiting for someone to explain why the murder rates with guns is so high in the states and qualify that with reasons beyond poor gun control.
