Yeah, i did get off-topic, that's true. And for what it's worth, I DON'T advocate gun control at all (with the possible exception of automatic weapons). Sure, people are going to have a shitload of gun accidents each year that result in death, that's just a given. People can be very stupid and careless. But it's not the government's job to regulate stupidity or carelessness. Uncle Sam shouldn't have the right to take away EVERYONE'S lawfully registered guns just because some people can't own and operate said weapons properly and safely. As much as i hate to read about cases where some child gets ahold of their parent's gun and injures or kills themself, across the board gun control is just unamerican. (Keeping guns out of the hands of children is ultimately the PARENT'S responsibility, not the federal government's.)
