Well instead of talking about abortions since a lot of people disagree on that, why not talk about car accidents instead? I've read somewhere that every year in the U.S. something like 49,000 people are killed in auto accidents in comparison with the 12,000 (roughly) killed by firearms. Are you going to ban cars too? They're dangerous right? Not to mention that the majority of firearm deaths are probably between known criminals (not that their lives are any less valuable but it's still not the everyday average Joe that gets killed). Many other firearm incidents are pure accidents as well.
In Australia they banned all private ownership of guns several years ago and since then violent gun crime has risen nearly 400%. Why do you think that is? Because no matter what the law says, a bad guy is always going to be a bad guy, they're called criminals because they break the law. Do you think that someone who murders somebody or sells drugs is going to give a damn about gun laws?!?!? Heck no! The criminals will ALWAYS have guns. Also, its not like it takes the police just 15 seconds to respond to a phone call for help! All that ####### in Colorado needed was a couple of minutes to kill all those innocent people! Its a miracle the police arrived as quickly as they did! So in the end you have to ask yourself...would I rather live in a country where only outlaws and police have guns or do I want to live somewhere where I have the right to be at even odds with the bad guys and protect my family with a firearm as well?
My 2 cents on the topic.
