First of all no one is taking your guns away. That old cry is perpetrated by the gun manufacturers to boost sales, and all you lemmings fall for it. It now has become a political cry of the crazy right! Let’s compare guns to hammers and cars. A gun primary design is to kill! Semi, large capacity and “assault “ design guns are designed to kill humans. Only 1.7 % of car fatalities is deemed by suicide. Only 1.0% of non-fatalities by car is an suicidal attempt. Zero by hammer. In 2018, the most recent year for which data are available as of 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) National Center for Health Statistics reports 38,390 deaths by firearm, of which 24,432 were by suicide. Number of murder victims each year each by: Hammer or blunt object - 400 By Handgun - 6400 By Shotgun or rifle - 600 Other guns - 100 Total guns - 7000 We could look at the number of deaths by vehicle and guns. Do you want to look at the percentages of ownership that die by each. Number of death by usage! That would be pretty high for guns. Let’s look at the history In 1913, 33.38 people died for every 10,000 vehicles on the road. In 2019, the death rate was 1.41 per 10,000 vehicles, a 96% improvement. In 1923, the first year miles driven was estimated, the motor-vehicle death rate was 18.65 deaths for every 100 million miles driven. Since 1923, the mileage death rate has decreased 93% and now stands at 1.20 deaths per 100 million miles driven. We took steps to prevent deaths by vehicles! We taken very little, if any to prevent death by guns. You are required to get insurance, pass a test, both written and practical, get a license, register your vehicle each year and in most places have it inspected. So I agree, let’s treat guns like cars! Good suggestion
