    Obviously the classes and/or common sense are paying off. In 2007, in a nation of 302 million people, there were 613 fatal firearms accidents. Again, it seems that these hypotheticals of people shooting their friends in a drunken stupor and jumping into random firefights and shooting innocents or being shot themselves are very rare.

    Stop kidding, please:
    I was in the Army. And I know what is this strange feeling to have weapons in your hand. The power of Death and Life, the fear mixed with “Respect” when you arrived in a village during a night exercise, faces blackened, dirty, smelly but with your Assault Rifle…
    Do you ever, ever, experiment this Power when an Armoured Division deployed in an open plain, with the ground shacking under your APC’s caterpillars.
    Just because you experienced some sort of weird power trip while handling weaponry does not mean that it is a common occurrence.

    Lol, what?

    Which isn't the case at all. The law/policy is based around the fact that people who want to enjoy guns for whatever it is about guns that fascinates them can do so on, say, a shooting range or a hunt, and that banning guns outside of that use improves the conditions for all. Funnily enough, it works.
    The stats say differently. Gun restrictions/bans here in the States and in Europe have had no noticeable positive effect on violence and public safety. It could even be argued that in some places they had a negative one.
