Another point.. making guns easy to get hold of by the nutter element all countries have... It takes more to cross the line to murder without access to guns. It seems that building up to being a killer is a stage thing. A gun makes that jump easier, whilst closer killing takes more and is less likely to be a big kill.
As to the numbers being less than car deaths. Yes.. they are, but that does not make the problem go away of nutters getting guns. It's just a poor defense of having a no system of protecting people from nutters with guns, and as such justifying that this is ok to protect your rights.
Well... what about those who die at the hands of nutters with guns right to live?
