Sorry, but when was the last time fertilizer was used to kill dozens of people? Here in the US it's been almost two decades. Weed killer? Can't recall off the top of my head. Knives? I see that a crazy man in china recently wounded a bunch of kids, but most of them lived. The last time before this that someone killed a bunch of strangers with a gun? Less than six months ago.

Let's talk about motor vehicle safety. People seem to really like comparing guns and cars. Cars kill tens of thousands of people in the United States. Actually, about the same numbers as guns do. Why is it that there is an intense focus on automobile safety on the part of government, the insurance industry AND the automobile industry, yet with guns all we do is criticize people for proposing ANY kind of condition on gun ownership? If we thought about automobile safety the same way we think about gun safety, there would be no seatbelts, no airbags, no insurance or registration requirements, no recall requirements, no restrictions on drunk driving.

Commercial aviation? Safest mode of transport in the world. In the US, only 150 people have died on commercial airplanes in the last 10 years. No thanks to government regulation apparently. If we applied gun fatalities to commercial aviation, that would be the equivalent of four 737's crashing each week, 52 weeks a year. Do you think that people would really keep flying with that kind of safety record?
