it's certainly not going to be equal 100 100, but from my personal experiences it's something that jumps out as a similar type of tool / misuse / ban possible / restrict. I have been seriously injured due to a large truck being misused, and calling for a ban of all cars would be one thing, saying that restrictions to that only 4 cylinder vehicle are available to citizens with other requirements could be a thing. I think lots in America would laugh at not being able to own an 8 cyl for example, only military or civil servants. I'd like to go more into that, but I think to be more honest and equal about the rest of you comment, need to move to that more. "guns have no other purpose but to put holes in things" - it's easy to point to this, and it's kind of true, but it's not really true. many guns are made and sold and used just for skeet shooting or hunting (yes technically that's putting holes in things) and similar. However most guns in America are used as a deterrant. Guards at courthouses, armored car guards, citizens with guns, etc. Every day hundreds of thousands of times a day, guns are used as a deterrent. The deter rapes and robberies and complete tyranny, and invasion every day. Without them we would certainly have more rapes, robberies and murders. In a fictional world of tradeoffs, I might take trains vs cars to bring some people back from the grave as well. I am sorry you have lost friends that way. With that in mind, I also consider that without guns more people that we know and care for might have also met early ends. I have witnessed many semi-violent situations that only de-escalated because there was immediate threat of people with guns changing the situation, sometimes it was cops arriving to a scene, other times it was not.
