The Top Five Causes Of Unintentional Deat and Injury involving children worldwide:

1. Car Accidents: Kill 260,000 children a year and injure about 10 million children. They are the leading cause of death among children and a leading cause of child disability.
 

2. Drowning: Kills more than 175,000 children annually. Up to 3 million children each year survive a drowning incident. Due to brain damage in some survivors, nonfatal drowning has the highest average lifetime health and economic impact of any type of child injury. 
 

3. Burns: Fire-related burns kill nearly 96,000 children a year. 

4. Falls: Nearly 47,000 children fall to their deaths every year, but hundreds of thousands more children sustain serious injuries from a fall. 
 

5. Poisoning: More than 45,000 children die each year from unintended poisoning.

March 18, 2009 WASHINGTON, D.C. - Each year, unintentional poisonings from consumer products commonly found in the home kill about 30,000 children and prompt more than 2 million calls to the nation's poison control centers. More than 90% of these calls involve poisonings in the home. On average, each year an estimated 80,000 children are treated in hospital emergency departments for unintentional poisonings.

I don't see the anyone jumping on the badwagon to ban cars, water, fire, falls or products with poisonous contents...look at how many lives you can save!!!!!!!

Some other interesting stats for you about those mass shooters-

They were wearing pants-Ban pants
They wore shirts-Ban shirts
They wore socks-Ban socks
They breathe oxygen-Ban it
And finally...........They were all Human------Ban Humans!!!

i understand the premise of this argument, but where it fails is that none of the items you mentioned were designed with the sole intent to kill, people dont make cars to kill people, people dont make pools to kill people, however guns are designed with only one purpose, and that is to kill... if you use it for anything else(sport shooting) you are not using it in the matter that it was designed. guns were created to kill.

i know what your next argument is gonna be... "but tarathiel, guns dont kill people, people kill people" this is true, and without guns they will still find other ways to kill. does this mean we shouldnt still look at ways to make owning a gun more difficult for bat shit crazy wierdo's?

please dont take this as a "omg he wants to take our guns away" style post, because its not. i dont think guns should be banned i just think we need to keep better tabs on who should be able to own them, if people want to cry about invasion of privacy or anything else then oh fucking well. id rather invade your privacy and make sure you arent one missed ritalin away from a massacre then protect your right to privacy

do you really think that if shit hit the fan, and you had to defend yourseylf from the government, that you and your fucking ar-15 would stand a rats chance in hell against the full might of the american military? if so then you are quite delusional and should not be owning a gun in the first place

Worked pretty well during the Revolutionary War. Worked pretty well for the Vietcong. Works pretty well for Middle Eastern guerillas (terrorists, depends on who you ask) who continue to kill military personnel with Cold War AK-47s and roadside bombs.

There's strength in numbers my friend and there's more of us than them. But keep up that defeatist attitude and let the government put their boot directly on your throat by giving up the guns. I think most soldiers would recognize that their being ordered to kill the same people the swore to protect and revolt against it.

That seem to shut you up real quick. The statement prior to my last response wasn't even directed at you, it was just a general statement about whiny liberals. You just happened to respond before I typed it out. What does it mean? Think about it, ace. I haven't read all your responses and I'm really not going to backlog to read the same bullshit I've been reading on my Facebook feed since Sandy Hook. I'm just going to assume that you're "not in favor of getting rid of all the guns but you don't think people need to own automatic or semi-automatic rifles." WHOA! Big shocker on that opinion. Fact is you want to dictate how, when and what type of gun people own so I'll say it again, Liberals know what's best for you and everyone else.

Disarmament isn't the only issue any of you clowns have stupid fucking opinions on. You're also in favor of a dog shit healthcare system and dumping half your paycheck into lazy people's pockets.
