(9,126 posts)No driving drunk or high, texting, cell phones: the laws on this improve apace without much pushback. I don't see anyone screaming about their gawd-given right to text while driving. It's dangerous, people get killed, so we make laws so it doesn't happen again.
Guns are by their very definition deadly weapons. And yet, people and even children are shot every day, whether intentional or an accident. Every other industrial nation in the world has had a response to tragedies with much stricter gun control, EXCEPT the US. By every measure, the US is exponentially higher in gun deaths and now we top most first world nations combined for police shootings, the reasoning for which is our heavily armed society.
It's as plain as day to anyone by all logic. It is borne out by history and every fact in the world that a country awash with guns is far less safe than one with strict gun control. It's just a fact, like the earth orbiting around the sun. Any argument to the contrary is just plain false and without any basis in fact.
