Pool ownership is not even constitutionally protected, why are we allowing to have them? The per-pool rate of children death is probably way higher than the per-gun rate of child death.
Let's not even start on car-related deaths

This is not an isolated incident, it is symptomatic of a broken system in the US that keeps producing stories like this. When tens of thousands die every year you think the best solution is to do nothing?The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. Some other quotes.
Excuse me for getting a little deep here, but I'm coming around to the notion that the whole cause of friction in the gun comtrol debate boils down to the different fundamental ideas of a perfect future between people on both sides of this debate. It sounds like the people on the pro gun side want a future where everybody is allowed whatever they want regardless of how it effects things like crime and gun homicides (correct me if that's not what you think), whereas people on the pro control side want a future where nobody is allowed guns besides perhaps gun clubs, police or military. And both are trying to take gradual steps towards realising that ideal future, which is why no compromises can be made. The sad thing is is that from my perspective the guys on the pro gun side have made the decision that even if their policies risk inevitable loss of life they are willing to accept that as long as they get what they want, whereas the pro control guys think that it's not a fair trade off, and that it is inevitable that even if 99% of people are responsible gun owners that 1% cause tragic things like a hook, or a columbine.
I might just do a topic outlining my points / arguments for gun control and save myself writing out massive shpeels like this every time there's a gun related topic lol.

Psst:
That's exactly what a strawman is, making it ironic that you would parrot someone else's cartoon as an ad hominem against Camarohusky.
Just an 02er.

Like those who thought the AWB was going to be renewed and that the UN was coming to take America's small arms away? Honest question.

Feinstein had her way she herself said "She would ban all Firearms" if she had enough votes in the senate and that AWB was pretty close in the senate even for my taste.

Dude, that's like the most educational comic I've ever read. It doesn't explain anything, but damn!
Anyway, I hear that Australia has had practically no mass shootings since the one with Martin Bryant, but I don't know their gun laws.

Well indeed it was. But don't blame as "IT WAS THE GUN'S FAULT!"
The redneck family was clearly mishandling the weapon. Weapons don't kill yourself, only idiots who mishandled weapons get that treatment.
