Gun Control & RKBA

(17,502 posts)Compared to other accidental deaths, they are almost nonexistent. The point of the proposed legislation is a culture war. No more, no less. While some think of it as a public safety issue, they are actually in the minority. Most of them it is about culture. If you read enough rants and propaganda, it isn't hard to notice. That is how it works in the US.
Since I know a lot of US (and I grew up in a part of the US where almost everyone has guns) and Canadian gun owners, none of them I know treats their guns "with the care and consideration given their TV remotes".
From my stand point, given the problem with gangs, the average pot smoker is more responsible for US and Mexican gun violence than gun owners because they fund and fuel it. So again, when is the drug culture going to be asked to take responsibility?
