If you want an honest, objective look at gun deaths throughout the world, look at stats here:

Compare the US w/a country like England. Just take a minute and look it up on this site. Type in US, and look at the actual numbers. Then, type in UK, and look at their actual numbers.
Hunting rifles, etc, aren't banned there, but there are sensible laws about handguns, semi-auto, etc. The stats don't lie. As a pediatrician, I read about gun deaths and injury statistics all of the time, and have seen right in front of me the injuries and even deaths at some point in my 25 years in medicine. It's senseless and doesn't need to be that way. I know the passion many of you have for your guns. It's a tough, tough issue. My personal viewpoint is out of concern for the injuries/deaths, and how widespread and routine it is, not in trying to hinder anyone's rights. This story could have been the opposite, CEH or the other player may have died. Wayde Sims is gone simply because a fight escalated and access to a handgun allowed a guy to kill another guy. I've been in many fist fights, but no one pulled out a gun and killed me. You may get hurt, but you generally don't die from routine fights not involving weapons.
I'm sure I'll get attacked for this message, but if you put agenda aside and take a second and just look at the statistics, it's eye opening.
