It is called freedom. Once we decide it is OK to ban something because
it might hurt someone where do you stop.

WTF? that's WHY we ban stuff....speeding...drunk driving...mixing
chemicals in your basement...

did you think about that before you wrote it?

Yes I did and the question still stands

Lots of people get killed in cars and are not speeding or drunk. They
were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Everyone mixes chemicals and I bet you have lethal ones under your
kitchen sink. Should we ban bleach?

all of these things have a use, especially cars. the deaths from
these other things...bleach, etc...are not frequent and are due to
misuse.

guns, OTOH, can, and have been banned in many countries with no ill
effects at all. given the costs, there's no use for them
