I don't own any guns myself, but I do recognize the importance of our rights and our right to own a weapon. This kind of stuff makes me so angry!

I also don't own a gun, but also recognize our libertarian right to have weapons ... as long as
others can also maintain their rights to liberty/freedom/life.
I believe the issue is about the DEGREE of
social harm the weapon can cause
vs the
need of the individual to have it.
.
yes.....and in that case you are also wrong....
a study by bill clinton's Department of Justice found that Americans use guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop violent criminal attack and save lives......
vs.
8,124 gun murders...in 2014 which has been going down since the 90s.....and of those murders 90% of the murderers were career criminals and 80% of the victims were also career criminals.......
So the benefit of guns far outweighs the harm........you must agree...right?
Since 357,000,000 guns are now in private hands in 2015....so that would mean that 356,991,876 million guns were not used to commit murder...so it would be just stupid to go after all those guns that weren't used to commit murder...right?
