Because of money and who pulls their strings. Liberals are nothing but useful morons.
But the gun deaths would still occur. The two are not equivalent.

The analogy would be advocating the banning of all automobiles, as drunk drivers kill 27 people per day. Forget the fact that the vast majority of drivers do not kill anyone- we must ban all automobiles to prevent drunk drivers from killing people.
Because cars aren't "designed" to kill but guns are, and cars have practical use and guns don't. That's their argument.

Alcohol beverages would be a much better comparison as alcohol beverages have absolutely no practical use and are designed to kill but we have a constitution amendment to not ban alcohol.

I made an assertion that your true aim was something other than "eliminating deaths". Either that is your aim or it isn't. Only you can answer that question and yet you have dodged the question twice now.

In rare instances alcohol will kill more than one person, indirectly.

Stupid analogy but nonetheless, consider: you have to be licensed and pass a test to use one. Let's do the same for guns, OK?

Because it's important for Libs to feel smarter right? Because that is the root of almost all of their hair brained ideas. The need for acceptance, the need to be looked at as enlightened and smart. Especially by their Liberal cult.

Right. So because THEY personally don't have a use for a firearm they want to make the leap and say NO ONE has a legitimate use for a firearm.

It is the quintessential totalitarian mindset, and why the right to bear arms was listed in the Bill of Rights.

You guys don't get it and obviously never will. But just for grins I'll point out again that gun control and assault rifle restrictions does NOT mean liberals want to ban all guns. I have no idea how many times we need to tell you this.
