20. That's because we have poor education practices with firearms
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 07:30 PM by Selatius
The only reason why so many people, including children, are killed is due to improper storage/handling of firearms in the home, and this is due to ignorance on apart of the owners/parents who keep these weapons around. Education is the answer. The Swiss are far, far ahead of the US on this point.

Banning guns entirely won't stop the smuggling of weapons into the US. It would be like Prohibition over again.
