No it's NOT about responsibility it's about unnecessary deaths.

That's not the point. I have been saying all along, that Americans
are not mature enough to be trusted with guns. That is why they
should be banned. The sooner the better.

Yeah, I see the point. You are a phony and a liar. These examples are
idiotic in the extreme. Rocks and cars were not designed to kill.
Anything can be used to kill, but guns are for killing. A " Slippery
Slope " argument does not really stand up to actual gun deaths.

No gun locks? No guns. You guys are cutting your own throats and your
playing right into our hands. You are not in a position to argue about
restrictions any more. Unless you clowns get smart, you will lose your
guns. Total ban!

There will be amendments to the 2nd Amendment. It is outdated.

Yeah right that's the solution. And it's much easier to change
society's
behavior than to ban guns. Right?

Guns will be banned because gun nuts live in the past. You are my best
ally.
Keep up the good work.
