So we are simply a more violent society, and we're killing each other with hands and fists and knives and baseball bats than those other countries are. We don't hear any calls for banning for hands and fists and knives and baseball bats. Gun control will not infringe on people's right to own a gun, but will add common sense to having that right. How do you explain the staggering comparisons concerning U.S. gun violence compared to other developed countries such as Sweden, Germany and France. So if we want to be like other countries, we need to consider all of the implications of that.
Gun control does infringe on the right to own guns.
You cannot separate being able to buy and acquire guns from being able to possess them. If the government can control one, they can end up controlling the other. Even though criminals usually obtain their guns illegally, if we could stop one such incident as these, it would be worth it in my book. We have to always get back to the benefits of gun ownership. Gun owners save lives in this country.
