88 THOUSAND people die every year in the US from alcohol related deaths. where is the call for ban on alcohol, which is far, FAR more dangerous than any gun.

what good is a gun if it's locked up in a club and you're being robbed at gunpoint in your home? SMH

get real

That is a tragedy if true (alcohol deaths). But, wine is not made as a tool to kill. Alcohol is also highly regulated. People don't give their toddlers pints of Jim Bean like they do guns. Anyway, guns are tools made to kill. That's all I know and that is all I want to know. Yes, I think they should all be banned but I understand that our violent society will not go there - at this time. Maybe if we ever advance then this issue can be taken care of but until then - restrictions, policy and anything to keep guns out of the hands of all Americans. Hate guns and hope to never see one again in my life. Smack your head ti'l you get a concussion. Or, put your loaded gun to your head and pull the trigger since guns don't kill. See what happens!!!

Yeah, I'm sure that the gang bangers, drug runners and the all around criminal will rush out to join the club!
(Good Lord .. What are you people smoking?)

They are made to hunt, for protection and target shoot. It is not a gun's fault that people use them improperly. I have not shot at anyone since I protected you when I was on active duty.

The 2nd will soon no longer be an individual right. It will join the 9th and 10th in the trash bin.

Would these "Americans" include the Police, FBI, Secret Service, ATF, IRS ... etc. etc. or are they 'Privileged Americans'?

Who would determine who was Privileged .. the government?

Good question. Not sure about your inquiry. We ultimately need to eradicate all violence but there would be a transition while the guns where confiscated. Ultimately, nobody would need a gun.

For the hunter, use a bow and arrow.

You either are not serious, or not very bright.
The UK did away with guns and stabbings are now 59,000 a year.

88,000 die every year in the US b/c of alcohol. check the CDC website for yourself. if that doesn't scare you, but guns do, you're not getting it. But then again, you think there should be a ban on all guns, so there's really no use in debating with someone like you.

gotta love the low information crowd
