    i did a swapmeet in in Ne and for the first 4 hours people were basically giving me the third degree about guns and the shooting . one lady would stop goning on about hoe the gun shop should be brought up on charges , but when i told her that he got them at bass pro she sang a different tune (witch upset me ) . seems as it was fine to sue a small business but suing bass pro would put too many people out of work , WTF. so i spent the next half hour talking to her about personal responsibility .even used the old forks vs fat argument . she said thats not fair . i had to enplane if your going to regulate something do to health and safety then she should start with the most obvious problem first. by the end of the conversation she agreed with me that its not the fault of the firearm but the individual holding the firearm .
    its funny more people are killed in drunk driving or texting accidents than by guns but no one calls for a ban on cars or phones .

    I agree, it is funny but this is the selfish nature of people coming through. Selfish people want to impose their needs (positive or negative) on others, they can't just live and let live. They need a car so they think you do too, they don't need a gun so you don't a gun either.

    Yup. And cars and alcohol aren't constitutionally protected.
    You want to be a martyr, I want to make you one.
