A few questions about the reasoning of some of these observations.

"More firearms accidents happen in homes with firearms"...Same can be said for more falls down staircases happen in homes with staircases. Or people that own bicycles are more likely to to have a bicycle accident.

Suicide. Yes people commit suicide with firearms and it is a high percentage because we can have firearms in this Country. Do you actually think that suicides would decrease by that percentage (76.4) if no one had firearms? It would follow that countries with a higher per capita suicide rate than ours now but don't have access to firearms would increase by 76.4 percent. I don't think so.

Generations of my family have had firearms with no violence or criminal history. There's a study. Would you want a tax funded study that aimed at taking away your right to free speech or to be secure in your papers and property? I'm sure a CDC study would show if we eliminated them we could ensure a safer Country allowing police to search you cause they want to. After all if it saves one life.

As far as stricter firearms policies reducing firearms violence...yes, but does it reduce violence? London is finding out now they have more knife violence, surpassing New York City in homicides this year. They are now calling for...you guessed it..knife control.

So when good citizens that happen to enjoy the shooting sports or owning a firearm for the protection of the Republic, we will be opposed to anything that "infringes" on that right. Those that want to ban guns usually don't know anything about them and don't own them. They call for compromise but don't have anything to lose in an agreement. We also know that even though these "compromises" have been made in the past, the gun banners always come back for more.
