there is a reason why so many more violent crimes happen in the US, Israel and South Africa than in other western countries, its not just the poverty and the institutionalised racism. People have access to guns. Guns are meant to be used. They are meant to be used to kill people. The NRA complains when people use guns in crimes. What do they expect. There the best thing to use.

As far as protection goes, that is utterly laughable. How protected does a wife who is subject to domestic abuse feel when her husband comes home violently drunk and is worried that she could get shot. guns are far more likely to kill a relative than ever kill a burglar in a home invasion.

Where would you feel safer walking down the streets of a poor section of Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne, or down the streets of a poor section of Detroit, Washington DC or Los Angeles.

As far as rights go, Society has a right to expect that instruments that are designed for maximum killing efficiency should be rigorously controlled.
