I'm just trying to get people to acknowledge that guns in legal hands do sometimes cause problems, and that these problems are significant serious to kick off an open, informed and sensible debate about how the issue is addressed.

My views get attacked in two ways here.....first of all, people say "But these gun deaths would never happen if the owner behaved like a responsible person". When I point out the fact that too many legal owners have shown an inability/unwillingness to be responsible I get attacked with "But it's a freedom under the 2nd amendment".

I don't fight the 2nd attack because I don't know enough about it, but I would like people to acknowledge that there is a problem that needs to be addressed.
