Rather than giving us a link and hoping we will make your argument for you how about giving us your opinions and ideas and something to debate against?
79% of the victims were shot with lawfully held firearms (185 of 233 victims)
86% of these mass shooting (12 of 14) were committed by lawful gun owners
In a study of 65 high-profile multiple-victim shootings in the United States during 40 years, 62% of handgun shootings and 71% of long gun shootings were committed with legally acquired firearms, Violence Policy Center, 2001
While I agree not all gun owning members are irresponsible will it not hurt to give up your past time so that lives may be saved. You claim you have them to protect yourselves and your families yet more people die from legally owned weapons than illegal ones.
If a man is killed by a firearm the media and anti gun lobby go into mad hysteria, some kid kills three of his mates and puts two other persons into hospital after slamming a his car into another vehicle whilst doing 100 MPH and that is just a "road tragedy".
He broke the law doing 100mph, speakers go out to high schools talking about the dangers of speeding, etc. Do speakers go out and talk about the dangers of firearms? You admire those educating young people on the dangers of driving yet condemn those who educate them about the danger of firearms.
Especially a pastime that kills probably in excess of 100X the number ever killed with firearms. What was your state's road toll last year?will it not hurt to give up your past time so that lives may be saved.
So long as it doesn't affect you.will it not hurt to give up your past time so that lives may be saved.
So now you are changing sides? Advocating that firearms should not have to be locked away where they can't be reached when needed in a hurry. Perhaps your first reasonable agument. Unfortunately I think that this was not your intention, but you just shot yourself in the foot (so to speak).Some say for recreation, some say for self defence. When someone breaks in will you have to time to grab the keys, run out back, open the safe, get the weapon, then run back in and get the bullets? I highly doubt it. Public transportation can not handle the entire population.

Been a bit busy at work.So if the crime rate in the US drops you will support gun control? Because there goes your main reason for having firearms.
