    No way mang. Show me some numbers.

    Uzi's are illegal? That's news for me. It was surprising to see how easily those guys in the Columbine massacre bought them in the shop just across the street.
    Full-auto would be illegal. I don't really know enough about Uzi's specifically to say.

    Most firearms are not used for killing. Are they being misued?

    Cars kill more people than guns. We simply can't get rid of either in the US, and another AWB won't change anything.

    You say that the value of cars (the other purposes) outweigh the cost in human life they cause. Who are you to say that?

    /sorry for the stream of arguments, there's just so many things I want to convey before going to dinner

    What, you actually think most kills are from people who go off specifically to the black market to buy a gun to kill someone? Look at the Columbine Massacre, those guys bought their guns legally. I tried to look for numbers, but I have no clue where such American statistics lie. You can kill with a registered gun and not be found out.

    What are they used for? Why do the USA have the highest death percentage by firearms if most firearms aren't used for that specific purpose they are built for?

    Not again... Ending this car comparison stuff, I'd guarantee you 90% of the deaths caused by a car are by accident. What about 90% of the deaths caused by firearms? Why the comparison? The government needs to do something about intentional kills. Heck, even the cars are modified so they are not as lethal as they are.
    And I didn't say they outweigh anything. Dunno where that came from.
