By that logic, every american should have a nuclear bomb in their
basement to protect themselves in case canada or mexico invades. It
isn't the bomb who will destroy the city, it will be the nutcase that
detonates it from his basement when his wife gets mad at him for not
taking out the garbage and he wants revenge so he presses the big red
irrestible button.

When you make it easy to kill someone, it takes far less to trigger a
man's decision to kill.

Just like credit cards allow women to buy shoes on impulse, guns make it
very easy for men to shoot someone on impulse.  Just as not every women
will succomb to the temptation to buy shoes, not every men will be
tempted to kill on impulse.   But there are enough men who do get
tempted that it is a serious problem when you make it so easy to kill
with a clean, cheap, efficient, easy to use gun easily purchased at
local corner stores.

I bet there are more warnings on ladders than on guns. If ladder
companies can get sued if someone misuses a ladder and falls to the
ground, how come gun manufacturers never get sued when their equipment
is misused and kills ?
