Thank you guys, but you know I want one more thing from you (EVIL )
I want you to stop comparing guns to cars in the future and get to the bottom of the argument.
"I own a gun because I want to and because I live in a free country"
I have seen in many a discussion that the comparing of guns with hammers has seriously hampered the point of the pro-gun side. It worked on me for a long time.
I was all for banning guns and the abovementioned gun-car analogy just made the gun lobby sound more ridiculous to me.
Just recently I started to understand that this was about freedom of choice and about the fact that prohibition has never worked. Sadly I had to find out myself and was not handed this simple but convincing argument by someone else.
