Ok, let me write this in crayons for you.
First, people enjoy shooting because it is fun. Like a lot of hobbies, it is dangerous. People like to drink to excess. Why? Because it is fun. The U.S. tried banning alcohol consumption before. Did it work? No. Is banning guns in the U.S. gonna work when there are already millions of guns in circulation. No. It ain't rocket science.
If you want to save lives, prioritize harms. IMHO, again,alcohol is responsible for more destruction and death in this country than guns, and it isn't even close. But people don't want to ban alcohol. Why? Because EVERYONE drinks (and most drive drunk at least once in their lifetime). So the anti-gunners are just like, "well I don't like shooting, but I like to drink, so let's ban guns." Its like 2nd grade reasoning.
I'm all for public health regulations, but not hypocricy (sp). Some people like to ride motorcyles. Some people like to drink. I like to shoot semi-autos. Shit happens with all three of those hobbies, but banning them doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you have the common sense of at least a 3rd grader.
