I don't know how you can reconcile the fact that guns are far more lethal on a per-incident basis than any other weapon.

Except the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting and EVERYTHING to do with a violent revolution to topple the government.

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.
Noah Webster

"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
George Mason
Co-author of the Second Amendment
during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788

"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
- Thomas Jefferson

Correct but you also don't need a license to purchase a car only to legally operate. And a suspended license doesn't forfeit the vehicle just means you can't legally operate it. And if a car didnt have a driver it would just sit there... just like a gun. So your line of reasoning makes no sense.

Right. Now the big worry is a domestic power restricting our rights. Good thing those Founding Fathers saw fit to give us a means to not be enslaved by the government they built.

Well you see in one case, people died. And in the other case (this one), people didn't die.

Ok... here is the thing that is being missed. Just like I don't understand the people that say "I don't like abortion and it should be illegal", I don't get the people who say "I don't like guns and they should be illegal".

No one is forcing you to have abortions or own guns. Let the people who want to do or own legal things do things.

Its like getting mad at me for buying a donut because you are on a diet.

Local resident Steven Oltay, 19, said he thought he heard the attack take place from his flat nearby.
He said: 'I was woken up last night by a woman screaming.
'Horrific screams, like an animal.
'I thought it was someone being murdered and almost ran out but decided against it.'

What a civilized society.

In all the gun threads I've read lately, there are those who insist that the second amendment is to insure protection for citizens against tyrannical governments. What I have never heard addressed is the army commanded by that government.are these people implying that our soldiers would take up arms against their families and friends in order to give power to a few in Washington? Do they not trust and support our troops? Why have I never heard this addressed?

I don't like guns, but I don't want to make them illegal outright. I just want to find a way to restrict who can get them.
