Im going to have to disagree with you on that one. If you believe guns are tools, then they are tools to kill people. We cant put the lives of innocent people at the hands of anyone who pleases (literallly).

You put your life in the hands of other people all day every day, but you simply prefer to pretend this is not the case to ease the stress of looking closely at such facts. You could also make the same fallacious argument with knives, lighters, explosives, poisons, fuck even the guy who prepares your food. Maybe we should ban chefs? This is not a good enough reason to disarm everyone and disable them from defending themselves and others from violence because you have a psychological hangup about only this specific type of risk, which I believe you have overstated as well.

Which do you think is more common? That random people would risk your life with a gun or that random people would protect your life with a gun? I am sure in your media conditioned mind your knee jerk reaction is to say you at more of a risk being shot accidentally or purposely than protected. Self defense statistics show that is an erroneous assumption though. Even the most conservative estimates show that guns protect people FAR more often than they harm them.

Whaou, and why don't you bring such study on the table? If you have a proof that guns protect more than they hurt, the debate will be over. Why don't you provide such incredible proof?
