So do you honestly not know how to read, are you just disregarding rational thought, or are you attempting to troll all of us at this point?

It has got to be one of these...

I don't want to ban anything, however if you have legitimate reason for carrying a gun, like you are a Police Officer, FBI, etc, or have a valid hunting license, so be it. Otherwise, the idea that you need to carry a gun to shop at Whole Foods "just in case" is completely ridiculous.

I wonder why there is no push for everyone to wear bullet proof vests "just in case"??? I would think that is more likely to keep you safe than strapping everyone with a gun....yet nobody wants to wear a bullet proof vest to shop at H&M..why is that?
Anything can be used as a weapon & I did not say everybody has a knife.

Good way to twist my words

So "law abiding citizens" are not individuals?

In the end gun laws only protect the criminals. By definition they aren't going to care about the law and will likely have the guns illegally anyway, so what good are more laws going to do? Do guns stop working once they are illegal? Do criminals decide they won't buy one on the black market becuase of the law? If you aren't going to rob and kill anyway then how would the law help you? I just don't understand the logic.

Exactly, the majority of the shooters and the majority of the victims are of two particular racial groups.

This isent about guns, it's about culture.
