If we give up personal choice in anyway we will lose our freedom. I believe in personal choice but I also believe we should accept the responsibility of our choices. I have always smoked but I never smoked where it would interfere with others. I never walked into any building smoking a cigarette and only smoked where it was allowed even before the bans. I live in a country where there is no government healthcare yet so if I am injured by not wearing a seatbelt then it is on my dime. The same goes for fast food if I over indulge then it is on my dime (but I never do). I have always owned guns and folow the current laws with respect to their use. Here in America we have nough laws governing guns and their use so if we just enforce them we would be ok. There are many items which can be used as weapons and can kill. Maybe we should ban steak knives or forks. Just remember that criminals can always get guns even where they are totally outlawed so if you outlaw guns then only criminals will have guns and there are not enough police to protect everyone.
