People have been scared into thinking that all guns are going to wind up hurting someone because a couple of people who were not caring about others went out and hurt others using guns. There has also been people doing the same things with knives, poisons, vehicles, the list goes on and on. Yet you don't see any of those listed as illegal. We have veterans who have fought and nearly gave their lives to keep our country free, most of them have seen more then one someone they know killed doing what was right fighting for your and my freedoms. Freedoms that we are having stripped from us little
