The problem which most of the people arguing for freedom regarding owning a gun or not is that they usually forget that there are tons of people around, which should definitely not be able to carry a gun around and NOT being criminal. Of course, us, normally behaving and at least average intelligent human beings, can discuss this matter being pro or against. Silly things with laws (however stupid they are...) is: they have to be the same for everybody. And I absolutely not want my choleric neighbour, who tends to get angry by every little thing bothering him, to carry a gun around. And I am absolutely sure that he has a clean record and no (obvious) mental disorder. That's the way it is, all other arguments are picked.

First, you should stop bringing up over and over again examples of massacres. Even now in Norway, things like this are usually rare events compared to the amount of gun homicides, which happen on a daily basis in the US. This comparison is ridiculous, as such things can happen even with the tightest control of guns, but they will also continue to happen if everybody is carrying a gun (as the maniac is usually ready to die).

Second: how many times did you actually miss a gun in your hands? I guess, that 99% of the people desperatly begging for free firearms have never been in a situation where they would have real drawbacks with NO gun in their hands.

Third, don't forget that you can destroy someones life even without killing him, usually the high numbers of injuries are not taken in account in the statistics...

Fourth: in a working society, there is simply not 100% freedom possible, forget about that. So there is NO right to carry around a gun, that is ridiculuous thinking of about 200 years ago...

Fifth: comparing cars and guns is on an intellectual niveau I usually do not further comment. People dying in cars=accident. People dying by guns=controlled, conscious action. Even you admit, that its not the gun killing people, but the one at the trigger. Same is true for cars, so argument even further invalid...

I think, "unreasonable" is right, criminal rate is a cultural matter. Of course, you would feel more safe with a gun at home, if some looters want to rob your stuff out of your house. But come one, how many times happens this in your life? And don't you think, there would be more intelligent ways to avoid looters robbing your house than just by sitting in there armed like hell? This is so shortsighted thinking that I stop commenting any further here...
