FishOrSpoon/Little late here. I'm a gun owner and I see no epidemic of "gun violence" in America. However the left media whoop it up.
Are you prepared to give up everything since it could be used in a violent way?Why are guns picked on?Ever ask yourself that or do you take the media's word for it. Been to a movie lately or just watch one on TV? What do they all have in common? Oh that's right lot's of guns wielded by some of the biggest anti gun nuts out there. Where's the LEFTS OUTCRY over that? 
"Curb the endemic problem of GUN violence" is a joke since guns aren't violent. Car,rope,knife,razor blade,prescription drug violence only to name a few.
Bet all the criminals and gang bangers will line up around the block to hand them in and make sure they are all nice and legal huh?
