I really don't give a fuck if you know responsible people who own guns, to be honest. I'm sure you also know some irresponsible people who own them. The only way to ensure that the irresponsible don't have them is to abolish them altogether. Look at the statistics. Violent deaths involving firearms in the U.S. numbers in the 10's of 1000's every year. Violent deaths involving firearms in the U.K. (where they have gun control) numbers around 20 on a yearly basis.

All of the statistics also show that people who own guns for personal protection are almost never in a position to use those guns for protection. More often the guns are used by their own children to either blow their own brains out or carry out a childish vendetta.

I am not okay with you endangering the life of my child simply because you know some real cool guys who own guns. Real cool guys who own guns simply because they can and they want to.
