 Banning law abiding citizens from buying arms, history argues, gives police states and criminals the edge....quote from article.

It's a shame this kind of article doesn't get on the nightly news, or the MSM articles.....But it sure sounds like what other Americans have said:

"The Constitutions of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
Thomas Jefferson.

"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress.... But then I repeat myself."
Mark Twain
 
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

An American is more likely to die choking on an object. Falling down the stairs is more dangerous. Bicycles also claim more lives, as do beds (or falling out of them).
 
In the end, bathtubs are riskier too.  Accidental gun deaths don’t even come close to making the top ten. Step inside the weird syllogisms of Joe Socialist’s mindset and you’ll be banning cars, motorbikes, matches, stairs, bicycles, beds, and – wait for it - bathtubs.

It would be well worth banning all of the above if it saved just one life. Obviously banning  choking on an object would be a common sense law.
Rights are like muscles, when they are not exercised they atrophy.

why don't we ban oxygen thieves from coming out with rubbish like that   ;)


next they will want to ban having fun and living

alcohol, smoking and cars cause more deaths than firearms, however it is easy to go and ban the big bad guns caus they are scary
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Only if the fun infringes with their ability to control you, then the part about banning living would come in to play.
