So, are you glad that I brought up restrictions for poison then? Guns are very dangerous, so their use has to be restricted. That's not out of nowhere, but common sense.
Yeah, poison is lots of fun to use, there is no need to restrict that stuff. Guns are restricted, you anti gun people have a hard time understanding that.
The gun laws are a lot weaker. I had to get a driver's license, register my car, and I can be ticketed for simply driving a bit too fast, or making a right turn on red where it's not allowed. And cars are pretty essential, so I could see someone arguing that this is excessive.
I was referring to drunk driving. If you drink in public it is a crime, if you shoot in public it is a crime. If you are caught drinking and driving it is a crime. If you go around waving your gun everywhere, it is a crime. If you kill someone in your vehicle while drunk, it is a crime. If you kill someone with your gun it is a crime.
But guns are usually not needed. The mere desire to have one should be looked at with suspicion. Yet it's perfectly legal for anyone to buy a small arsenal and do stupid things like leaving guns laying around the house or training their psychotic children to shoot. Then a school gets shot up and we just say, "Oh well, C'est la vie."
Actually, the people trying to take away the guns should also be under suspicion. Are you trying to make things safer, or make it easier to kill me, how would I really know?
