If you _really_ want the low hanging fruit in so far as protecting the kiddies, outlaw bicycles.  They are quite unnecessary and result in vastly more injury and death than do guns.  For an extra kick, throw in snowboards and similar demonstrably dangerous sports.  Maybe you should ask yourself why the gun-grabber propaganda doesn't ever mention this and why nobody has their panties in a bunch about it.  Hint:  it isn't about safety for the plebs and the kiddies.  It's about something else entirely.

And you are giving me this shit, I will not even answer to this , it should be obvious how this is not an argument.

It's actually not so obvious.  Why don't you give it the old college try?

Best I can figure it is 'obvious' that bicycles are virtuous and are the key to saving the earth, so it is worth the sacrifice of the kiddies.  Guns, on the other hand, represent violence and evil, so they are in a different category.

In point of fact, the driving force behind getting rid of guns in the hands of common citizens is that it does exactly what the authors of the 2nd amendment had in mind.  Namely, it limits the options for control of the plebs by the elite.  The elite (e.g., billionaire Michael Bloomberg) fund the efforts propagandize against the 2nd.  To be fair, most of the gun-grabbers actually are well meaning idiots who fell for the propaganda and they have no idea what's actually going on here.
