Confucy, do you really think this ?

I can't see what the legality of personal rights is bought up as such an important issue when America has thousands of kids and 10's of thousands of people being killed by guns each year.

Surely the people that really believe it is a right and responsibilty to own a gun should be the ones working hardest to enact gun control laws that at least start to reduce the killing whilst allowing reasonable ownership rights.

I doubt very many pro gun rights people want no restrictions.. the argument should be about where the lines are drawn.. you have already agreed to give up your unrestricted rights to gun ownership if you accept that assault weapons should be banned imho.
