“……Freedoms alway comes with a Price….”.Do you really think you can equate freedom with owning guns that in turn equates to happiness and well being? Other countries also have freedoms but without the huge dependence on owning guns and gun violence..Note the recent U.N. “Happiness Index.” The U.S. ranked eleventh. The countries in order of most happy were Denmark, Finland, Norway, Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, U.S., etc..A couple of the factors going into the happiness index were freedom and health (or health care?). So who really has the most freedom and why do you need guns if you are in fact “free”?
30,000+ deaths to firearms a year, but 12 to 20 are consider “mass” killings? Yes, all are tragedies, but we can do better at regulating weapons and reducing the costs. Before anyone cites auto ACCIDENTS, look a how much better designed cars, and safety devices, have reduced the casualty rate. Plus, we might want to think about having NO laws against speeding, running red lights, drunk driving, or texting, and just gave everyone the keys to cars without a license, or any training on how to drive them. Hmm we do that when we let people “drive” guns.

The obama WOUND has definitely cut deep and I hope there will be as little scarring on the American mind as when the inept Carter was drummed out of office… It takes some people longer to learn the obvious, unfortunately.
All of these scars are names of places that the government promised would be safe by declaring them gun free zones. And yet you still trust your safety to the government?

But it would be nice if folks didn’t impose their freedoms on others.

Billy, airplanes haven’t killed anywhere NEAR the number of people guns have, unless you count OUR airplanes dropping bombs on Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
