You may as well put your head in the sand if this is what you believe.  While there are many issues with the people that do these kinds of things, the types of guns many of them are using are allowing them to kill and hurt many more people.  The fact that you think people want centralized gun ownership and not decrease the amount of people being killed routinely in everyday life is crazy.  18 school shootings in 45 days....and you think people want to give all the guns to government.

-A gun owner

Ha. Going through a school cafeteria anyone could kill dozens of people with a knife. Or a concert. Ever heard of the femoral artery? Tiny stab and twist, feels like a painful bug bite, dead in 2 to 3 minutes.

Is that a genuine post? How far do you think someone would get with that approach before someone intervened? 2-3 people? Double figures? Beyond that? C'mon, a gun is much more effective in a multiple victim attack.. if for nothing else, at least the reluctance to get close to the shooter. I know I wouldn't go near someone wielding a gun..
