Default Re: A fine reason to ban weapons

Can I now have the reason why this childs life was worth the lax gun laws prevalent over much of the US.


[/ QUOTE ]


Two reasons off the top of my head:

1) Guns also save lives

2) Rights are worth some cost in lives. We could probably save more lives in other ways, too, if we were to give up more of our rights, but it wouldn't be worth it

[/ QUOTE ]

1) Allowing loaded weapons to be easily accessable in a home environment does not. Quite the opposite as the news report points out apparently.

2) I agree with the sentiment. I disagree that restricted gun ownership would infringe on your rights anymore than the law that stipulates you drive on the right does.
