Alcohol kills hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people. Some people can't control themselves, but most are constrained by legality, morality, and common sense. Imagine if an Englishperson were to have a few pints, drive home, and run over 8 school kids. Would you want your "right" to drink a pint or two with your friends rescinded, even though you're always a responsible drinker?

Yes but buying a beer - and buying guns n rounds of ammunition aren't really comparable
So what's the plan though? Just carry on year after year after year burying kids? Whatever is in place now is clearly failing miserably
There is always going to be selfish arseholes who just cos their life sucks they are determined to take some poor innocent bastards with them when they go on a final rampage
It can only help surely by making it EXTREMELY difficult to get hold of guns
But yeah we can go round n round in circles like this for the next hundred years and sadly nothing will change
The difference between myself personally, and you - is that if I wanted to go into a building a kill indiscriminately , the best I could do is grab a knife from the kitchen drawer and try to stab a few people - cos I've never seen a gun, never held a gun and wouldn't know the first place or method to actually get hold of one
You on the other hand, could nip down to the mall tomorrow and mow down dozens and dozens of people before a cop shot your brains out
I know which is preferable!
