Much of my point was as much self control as it was a verbose way of saying "guns don't kill people, people do..." I came from a bizarre fucked up childhood, but those adults in my past who actually helped, made sure I could control myself. This discipline applies to emergency situations as well as violence. I have seen so many people panic and almost kill themselves in situations in which I acted with cool, yet intense, discipline. I know how to party, have fun and act a fool. Yet, I also know how to keep shit from going south even when I am in the throes of a good drunk or doing something chaotic. It has to do with the self control I learned. Someone would not pick up a weapon unnecessarily and randomly kill had they the will power and self control to reason thier way through. It is the modern "touchy-feely" school of parenting and permissivness that has everyone fucked. It is also the lieniency of the law on killers and sex offenders (and other violent offenders) that has helped, not caused, but helped in the break down of society. All of this combines with human stupidity to make the world dangerous.
Might as well blame the iron ore in the gun metal for the actions of some useless pig.
I am not bagging on you or anyone, I just do not connect with anyone who thinks removing something is the solution. Pretty soon, anything with the potential for harm will be illegal. No mor corners on walls... must be rounded. No more cars, they kill too. Forget swimming, you may drown. No more risk taking...
I would rather die than live in a benign world like that. (And I will fight a world order that wants to "protect" us in that way)
