>"common sense" gun laws Considering this is america we are talking about the "common sense" is that liberty is better than government provided safety for a large portion of americans. >If guns were handled correctly (by law) this article or discussion wouldn't exist Cars kill more people by a large margin, if we really cared about safety then why is it that we see articles about gun control more so than car deaths, or heart disease? Sensationalization of an issue isn't some basis we should be using for arguments about how to write laws. >Gun advocates see it as a step toward limitations of their freedom. Every single piece of legislation which exhibits control chips away at freedom even if its imperceptible in the short term view, we just saw the FBI try and use a 200+ year old law to limit the freedom of apple to protect their customers. The thing about the US government is that once a law is written it is difficult for to go away and very easy for it to be forgotten about until conveniently needed in court. Coalescing piece by piece, legislation over time has brought us to a point where most citizens are breaking some law in some form without knowing it. Calling each step forward in gun control a small step towards limiting freedom isn't really that crazy. >Everyone is fixated on the end-goal, instead of saving lives If they were really concerned then their fixation is misplaced http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm
