Spoken by someone with no Second Amendment to defend.
And also by someone who knows how to state the bloody truth absolutely perfectly.

>>>The problem in this situation is how to disempower the Enemy. Part of
the strategy has to be to get the US public to acknowledge the facts,
and there are several of them. One is that other countries do not have
this problem. Another is that guns are very rarely used successfully in
self-defence or defence of property. They are far more likely to be
used in cases of suicide or killing of a family member accidentally or
deliberately.
Another fact is that there are more guns that can be reasonably
justified in private hands in the USA. For hunting you could use a
shotgun and/or a rifle. If it is claimed you need it for self-defence
then a hand-gun is more appropriate. What is the use of a
semi-automatic for the ordinary citizen? Why is there no need for
licensing and insurance - and checks that the owner is mentally balanced?<<<
