I think guns are for people that are well trained, not only in how to handle them but also when to use them, make quick risk assesments when not to use them and being authorized to use them as a last, to be avoided option.
In my book that is police and militairy. We pay them train them and arm them in the best possible way for that difficult responsibility. We keep their weapons safe for them when they go home.
Not that grown up kid down the street, raised with Gears Of War 2, that heard he has rights to buy that awesome Bushmaster.
The Congressional Research Service in 2009 estimated there were 310 million firearms in the United States. What's the number you have!? If you can't convince them, confuse them?
Herk, the numbers you name, and the conclusions you get out of them.. amazing.
