Gun Control Reform Activism

Cars are designed to transport. They do far more good than harm, are an integral part of our economy and society, and consequently deaths related to cars are somewhat of a necessary evil and why we work to minimize those deaths rather than ban cars.

Guns are designed to kill. They do a great job at it and are responsible for over 30,000 deaths in the US each year. Yet the number of justifiable homicides is insignificant, and the overwhelming majority of gun deaths involve accidents, murders, and suicides. There'd be no major economic or social repercussions from banning guns, at least not negative ones like if we were to ban cars. If anything, the number of gun deaths would drop significantly, and they'd continue to drop over time as more and more guns would be taken off the streets.

It's like comparing apples and basketballs.
