Default How many more?

The use of guns
should be regulated at least as sensibly as the use of an automobile.

Clearly you don't live in California where everyday a whole bunch of
people get into car accidents and very few get shot. Maybe you live
in one of those states where everyone runs around shooting each other
but is very considerate when it comes to driving. Yes clearly we need
to make gun regulations more like car registration because everyone
with a car is really concerned with safety and commom sense. Where as
everyone I know actually self regulates their guns more than what is
required by law because they actually do use common sense. Please
show any evidence at all that shows that more gun regulations equals
less violent crime. All of the places that have done it have shown an
increase in violent crime not to mention that historically speaking,
getting rid of guns is one of the first things that massively
oppresive governments do to control the people. I don't want to be
one of those countries but clearly you do. Giving up a lot of
freedoms for a little sense of security is not worth it to me.
