The Gun-Control issue

The Arguments against having laws to control violence due to rifles or pistols seems to be 1-Safety, 2-that you can kill someone with a hammer, 3-Target practice, 4-equalizing power, and 5-hunting. Some of these are good arguments while others are delusions with a lot of data available that shows that fact. Now I am not a hunter and don’t own a firearm and only fired them when I was in the US Army. Let’s look at those arguments one by one 1. Safety- this is a delusion as data shows that having a pistol in a home make it 12 times more lightly that they or one of their family will die by gun fire. There are twenty thousand suicides in the United States in an average year and having a pistol available makes that more lightly to happen. There are other way to protect yourself like with pepper spray or a stun-gun (if the law allows) 2. That you can kill someone with a hammer (or any blunt object), knifes etc.- Fire arms can kill at a distance where as hammers and knifes you need a close up attack, giving your victim a better chance of living and you can attack only one at a time. 3. Target practice- this is a good argument, but do you need an automatic which seems just so you don’t have to reload. 4. Equalizing power- these is a more honest argument, the argument against see 1-Safety plus improve our neighborhoods with better drug laws and better schools with access to higher education to all our citizens. 5. Hunting- another good argument for rifles anyway. Do you really need a automatic rifles for hunting deer? Hunting is suppose to be a sport not a massacre, why not give the deer a chance by using a single action bolt rifle or a bow and arrow. Well, at least these are what I think of the arguments that I see on Facebook and Huffington Post. There are a lot of other arguments about video games, movies and the mentally ill all of which are even harder things to control. American culture will have to be changed which will take a lot of time.
