        This is the type of cool headed debate we need to be coming to the table with. If we can get both sides of the aisle to start talking about specific ideas to address the root issues we can make progress and move past the "ban all guns!" , "From my cold dead hands!" Rhetoric.

        It's hard to comment on US gun laws from a British point of view. Only to say that the Constitution (2nd amendment, right to bear arms) was based on 18th century civil war conditions and not 21st century current life. I believe #Reformisoverdue.

        Compared to how many lives that one has been taken? Between 2012-2017 according to http://gunviolencearchive.org  there have been 56,759 deaths at the end of a bullet, so I think to say that "guns saves lives" as a reason for holding on to the current laws, is a bit of a blinkered view.

        Forgive my ignorance, but how does that change the number of people who have lost their lives due to the gun? The readily accessibility to hundreds of thousands of guns that is the issues needing reform. I haven't once said to abolish ownership in its entirety.

        Guns are estimated to prevent hundreds of thousands of crimes per year, I would say that's a lot.

        We consider knife crime in the UK an issue that needs looking at, and have put laws in place to stop people buying them. But by your logic, we should allow everyone to be able to own and or carry a knife? Sorry if that comes over as sarcasm, but I have no other way to reply.

        Good thing children have never accidentally shot themselves or a sibling for that matter. Good thing that, that has never happened and never will happen. It is so far from the realm of possibility of ever occurring, would be crazy to even suggest.

        Mashable is not a reliable news source. There is no quantitative data. Also if millions of children ate tide pods, hospitals will be overflowing with sick people. Which, of course, didn't happen. Y'all have to let this false stigma go
