LOL. Well. M.A.D taken to a whole new level.
I share your views a long way down the line. Where the record skips a beat for me, is in the fact that we are faced with atleast 2 generations who have been raised to believe they are going to be rockstars. All of them. A very narcassistic view on life. In responsible hands, guns are what makes the government fear its subjects,, just like it should be. In immature hands, it is a recipe for national disaster.
Michael Moore wondered why there could be so many guns in Canada but so few people using them to run nuts in the street compared to the US. I think the above is part of the explanation. The same could be said about our nation. We have pretty strict gun laws, but there is A LOT of perfectly legal high powered hunting rifles and shooters (you just have to take a course + test to own one or more). We just dont use them to shoot eachother with that much, and part of that is because they are not easily available, not because we are smarter. To make more liberal gun laws at this point would be a disaster imo.
Tl;Dr - "Just because you are smart and responsible does not mean the rest of the world is. It is a dangerous assumption. Evidence so far argues that the large majority are not"
