and even though guns may represent more risk that safety, they still represent safety.


safety belts in cars (an ostensibly good thing right?) represent more safety than risk but there are also people killed becase they choke on the restraining belts after a crash, or because they could not escape the flaming wreck because of their seatbelts.

my whole point being that the good must be taken with the bad and vice versa, and that wholesale banning of something like guns, weed, alcohol, sex, etc is extreme overreaction which ussually (if we let history teach us) leads to all new horrors that were not expected by those people wishing to "do good" by banning things.
