Don't sound like one to me. Last I checked it does take a real live person to pull a trigger. Guns don't just take a life form and think "I'm going to go kill a bunch of people today". Did you know that swimming pools kill more children every year vs guns. Did you know that lawn mowers do more bodily harm than guns. Also, you need to check your sources because there are several different studies concerning the second amendment (Did you forget that we have something called a Constitution?). Some of the studies do not counter balance the affect of when a gun is properly used for self defense. Not to mention that time, and time, and time, again when a government creates gun control crime goes through the roof. Do your home work. ex. Hitler sure did a lot of damage. Who loved carnage in THAT situation? You need to learn your facts and not just listen to what the media and liberal politicians tell you. Think about this, what country is going to invade the United States if 90 million people in it are gun owners. Yep! That number is correct. I want you to know that if the government didn't have the restrictions on guns that they already have, MOST of those 30 precious lives would be alive today. A real law abiding citizen would have shot him before he killed to many people. The LAW says that you can't bring a gun on school grounds! If you take away everything that kills people there would be nothing left. Are you an American? Don't sound like one to me.

Never knew that already 4 decades have vanished stealthily after the gunning down of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, two very well known international figures then. The assassins were arrested, but some people claimed that the real killer of Robert could be someone else. In 1968, I was a bachelor teaching a group of pre-University students. The news took us by surprise. We condemned the violent use of guns in the US where firearms are still so easily available to virtually anyone, anywhere, anytime. Remember the mass shooting in a campus last year that took away more than 30 precious and innocent lives? Yet gun crazy America continues to ignore pleas for gun-restriction, arguing ever so unconvincingly that it is the person who controls the weapon that does the killing, not the weapon itself. Just look at the yearly statistics of the number of people shot dead or died of gun wounds in the US. Why are Americans not wary of such carnage? What makes them keep trigger-happy? Time flies.
