3.it's a circular argument to say we can't outlaw assault style weapons because assault style weapons will always be available.

5.we don't get rid of speed limits on account of them.
1. There's one thing in common with 100% of all drowning deaths, and that's water. Ban water.
2. Okay, Lol.
3. Based on economics, where there's a demand, there will be a supply. Once you understand this basic fact, the only question is whether or not you want criminals feeding the supply, or legit business owners. (Personally, I like the black market, because fuck business licenses and taxation).
4-5. Not an accurate comparison -- Getting rid of speed limits is likely to increase accidents, but getting rid of gun control is likely to curtail violent gun related incidents. We see this in neighborhoods with high gun ownership.
