It amazes me just how myopic many of you are when it comes to gun control.

"All the gun laws do is change the weapon people use to kill other people". That is total crap!. I'm not saying that gun control laws won't lead to a change of weapon people use to kill other people, but that's not all it will do. If the London Bridge attacker had a gun the death toll would have been higher, so gun control laws also reduced the death toll.

"you can only legislate away self protection". More crap! The public stepped in with fire extinguishers and a narwhal tusk. Gun control laws did not take away their self protection, although I truly believe that those that stepped in were trying to protect others, rather than themselves.

"While they are at it they should ban and remove all motor vehicles as well". I believe America, like most other countries, already has vehicle control laws. There are minimum maintenance requirements, you have to show you are competent to use them, there are rules you need to follow when you use them, and if you mis-use them you can have your right to use them removed. Surely something that is designed to kill as it's primary purpose (guns), should have much stricter control!
