By this logic, how many more people have to die before you give up your automobiles and rely on public transportation? If the government dictates how they will provide transportation, are you sure that would ensure anything?

I have never pointed a hand gun at anyone or waved one around to boost my ego, but I have fired many thousands of rounds at game, not just punched paper. Id bet you would be tickled to hunt a deer with a hand gun. Its a quite a bit bigger world out there than I think you are imagining.
