Question for the Anti-Gunners

I like to pose questions to those with different viewpoints from time to time. Mainly just to get them to think differently on a subject. Not to really with the goal of changing their mind, but give them a different thought process on a subject. So in this tradition i will ask some questions for the Anti 2nd Amendment Crowd (Which i believe that if you feel there should be regulations of any type or if you feel that guns should be outlawed, your part of this crowd):

If a child fall out of a tree, should all tree be outlawed?
If a child breaks an arm falling off of a bike, should bikes be outlawed?
If a person cuts themselves with a knife, should knives be outlawed?

You are probably saying to yourself No! That would be ridiculous because these problems only effect a few, not enough to justify be outlawing them altogether. Am I right, i believe i am but here are a few more for you to ponder.

If a person strangles another to death with his bare hands, should hands be cut off to prevent it from happening?
If a drunk driver kills another person while in a car, should cars be outlawed?

Again you are probably saying the same answer for these as you are the previous questions. The majority shouldn't be punished for the actions of the few.

Why then would you answer differently to the question on the right to own and protect yourself with guns?

You can not punish all of the people for something that few people do. The last time i looked, guns do not go around looking for people to shoot do they? No, they are guns, people shoot guns, not the other way around. More and more people die each year from legal means (car wrecks, home accidents, legal drugs, natural means, etc) than do from Gun Crimes, Illegal Drugs, and Drunk Drivers, but why is it that the illegal ones get all of the play.

We as American Citizens of this great country need to get back to where we are standing up for the Constitution that PROTECTS US at all cost, regardless of if we agree with it or not.

Viva Liberty!
