Yet there are hardly any violent rampages and so-called accidental discharges of weapons. Guns have existed in very large numbers for more than two centuries. They were common amongst ordinary families from the 1740s. Children did not kill with them. After 1945 Canada was flooded with handguns brought home from Europe and Asia by soldiers.
Teachers report of half of the class bringing dad's shooter to school.
These were military weapons, deadly and efficient. Of course not. But according to some zealots, it's all about registration. Curiously enough the activists screaming for draconian gun control usually seem to be the same activists who are calling for a lower age of sexual consent, for more children's rights, for increased funding of daycare rather than support for families, for the abolition of corporal punishment and for a wholesale dismantling of the society that has served us so well for so long. If you doubt me, just take a look.
