(Actual point - we don' t have a gun problem. We have a people problem)

Did you really mean to write "we don't have a gun problem" ?  You do  realise that cunning bit of idiotic sophistry was invented by some cynical arsehole in the NRA?     Oh, I get it, you're taking the piss in't cha. 

Due to a wilful misinterpretation of the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, at this point you don't need to justify having a gun or allowing others to have guns.  It's a legal right, period. Hopefully, some US legislators will one day grow the spine to do what over 60% of Americans seem to want; pass some laws restricting the possession and use of firearms in US society. EG I'm not entirely convinced it's a good idea to allow urban dwellers to have Uzi sub machine guns, automatic assault rifles or 50mm machine guns, to name just three weapons which provide overkill..

None of the justification for allowing civilians having firearms survive even casual scrutiny. Gun owners should give up. If a person criticises your gun ownership, just tell them to fuck off. It's a right so far protected by the Second Amendment. So you don't need to justify shit.  Of course the problem with constitutional rights is they can be taken away with the stroke of a pen.  NO? I refer you to the internment of Japanese American citizens during world war two. Neither German nor Italian Americans  were interred.  Too long ago?  Have a read of The Patriot Act (2001)
