Cars kill people and allow criminals to get away, those should be outlawed for everybody, too.

What else can be outlawed because of hazards resulting from irresponsible or insane people? Tobacco, alcohol, tools, electricity, fire, etc?

Great happy place that we'd all live in.

Guns killing people are merely fulfilling their purpose. The other things you listed have a different purpose.

Shooting a weapon at a target range gives many people pleasure, having a weapon also provides some people with comfort (safety).

Alcohol is for pleasure and ends up getting a person intoxicated....no danger there, especially while driving or operating machinery.
Knives, what are they for? Chopping, cutting, stabbing things....
Cigarettes are for pleasure, but have a little downside called cancer....
The list could go on and on, and I would suppose you would call for a ban on all these things and much more (expand it to baseball bats, etc).

Ownership of a gun doesn't make you a murderer of fellow human beings. Your assumption that it does is very unrealistic.
Do you think of police officers as killers waiting to be unleashed because of your perceived need to fulfill their duty as gun owners?

Let's look at it this way: if you have the right to shoot-your-mouth-off in these forums (freedom of speech), then everybody else can have the right to own a gun of their choosing and target practice with it (right to bear arms).

What other rights are you and your kind looking to take away?

strawman

Great reply.....we're you in danger of falling short of your 10-posts-per-day quota?

It's straight and to the point. Why waste more words than necessary?

Sure, anyone could, but how many people do you know who does?

For those of you believing that guns are the problem: up to and including most of the 1960's, high schools across the USA had gun/rifle clubs. The gun club participants could transport their weapon from home to school without issue. During that time, teenagers could purchase a rifle in a hardware store or mail order one. Wasn't near as much concern over weapons and people being irresponsible with them as what there is now. Yet with gun laws becoming far more stringent since that time (1960's), the 'problems' with guns have grown.

In any industry that survives by being results driven, problem solvers would question if the root cause were something other than gun availability. In these forums with discussions of gun control, it becomes blatently obvious as to those who live in a bubble, are too lazy to problem solve, and/or have a hidden agenda.

No response from the esteemed gun control advocates? Is banning guns the solution to a root cause(s) or simply attacking a symptom?
