As for teaching responsible gun ownership, it clearly isn't working in this country. There are approximately 1,500 deaths by accidents involving firearms per year. A recent example: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27399337/ns/us_news-life/ |
You can't just take something away from all of the people because there are so many idiots out there. The one thing I think needs to be cracked down on is gun sales... gun shows, pawn shops, and the like are just terrible and so many illegal firearms are purchased there. If we regulated the sale of firearms properly and trained the people using them there would be no issue. Simply disarming the citizens though, it's not the answer, and trust me... shit would hit the fan if it was tried.
