I have several;even an assault rifle. Like you I enjoy shooting and frequently enjoy a game of drink your target plinking. I am simply pointing out that there is a fundamental difference between gun violence and all the other examples in your post. Can you legislate limits on diseases or accidents? Like deaths from car accidents are just different from being forcibly conscripted, shipped off to Viet Nam and killing and being killed in creative ways by your fellow man. Sorry I am not more skillful at writing.
