Speeding kills 13,000-14,000 people annually...so should cars that go over the speed limit be banned? I mean damn they're four wheeled death machines!

Stupid idea right? But you get the point, there are good drivers and there are bad drivers. Just like there are safe, responsible, well trained gun owners and there are crazy assholes like this guy. Don't blame the car or the gun, blame the person behind the wheel/trigger. 

Plus if we get rid of every gun in the world, do you suddenly think there would be world peace? Hmm well I don't remember world peace in the 1500's...I think they killed each other with swords and arrows...

Come on dude, guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Are you seriously comparing unintentional, accidental deaths to planned, intentional murder? Also, no one here is claiming that we get rid of "all guns" in the world. Simply having a greater restriction on who can own a firearm and how many firearms said person can own should be a sufficient start.

Would you really feel good knowing only the government and criminals have guns? Hey let's even pretend criminals don't have guns. Would you feel good about only the government having guns? You know that disarming citizens is always the first step towards a genocide. Seriously, look at any genocide in history, it happened where citizens have no right to own guns. Do you think the holocaust would have happened if the citizens of Germany were as well armed as America? Hell the Japanese even made the smart decision not to invade the American mainland in WWII because "there would be a rifle behind ever blade of grass" as quoted by a Japanese naval commander. 

Guns are a needed. Unless every single gun in the world is destroyed, then I want a gun. I don't want to be left defenseless when I know other people out there have them and I don't.
