For the sake of argument let's say the anti's are sincere in that what they want is a better society. If this is true why is it only guns that generate so much passion.
Let's take a look at some preventable causes of death in the U.S.
Obesity related deaths in the U.S. annually - 300,000 +/-, no one is calling for common sense caloric intake restriction laws.
Alcohol related deaths in the U.S. annually - 88,000 +/-, no one is calling for common sense alcohol intake restriction laws.
And way down the list of preventable deaths there are firearms deaths - 32,000 +/- (all causes), so much passion for restrictive laws.
Just one more cause....... sexually transmitted infection related deaths in the U.S. annually - 20,000 +/-, again no one is calling for common sense sexual activity restriction laws.
Maybe all the betterment of society types are just starting with firearms and will get around to all the other stuff later.
