but I'd have all guns confiscated.

For those of you who don't agree, how many gun deaths each year are you okay with? Ten? A hundred? A thousand? Thirteen thousand? Are you just fine with your spouse or child being murdered by a gun? Yes? Hooray for you. But I'm not. I want as close to zero as is possible.

So, at the risk of repeating myself, I am not remotely okay with someone I love, or even know, being murdered with a gun. If you're fine with that, good for you. But I am not.

We need to get rid of the guns.
