How many die to gun violence compared to motor vehicle accidents? Are you afraid of driving a car or crossing the road too? Gun violence is way down in the past 30 years, go look at the numbers. |
Flawless logic.
Point of a car - to get from place A to place B.
Point of a gun - to kill someone.
There's a reason why when someone dies in a car crash it's called an accident. Not "I accidently shot the man three times and took his wallet. My bad, I meant to just holster the thing".
However you have demonstrated fantastically how getting Americans to look at guns sensibly will be nearly impossible as it's now so embedded in your culture, you compare it to everyday, normal and safe items rather than looking at it with perspective.
