So Mike, what do you think the chances are of all guns being taken away from all Americans? I would say it is approaching zero, but never zero. We'd have to reinterpret the 2d, and then have fellow Americans cooperate - that approaches zero chance too.

==================

If you accept the premise that gun ownership drives otherwise law abiding citizens to homicide, then how can you allow any to exist in the hands of private citizens?

Answering a question with a question Mike? Dodging? :) But I'll answer yours - but I have to reframe it.

Given the same level of citizenry, add more guns into the pool and there will be more accidents, and violence. I assume there is a saturation point with guns, and the increase varies with cultures, etc.

So now, answer my questions please. :)
