We'd likely "save" more people by banning firearms. Some 200+ homicides utilizing a firearm in Canada last year vs what, 5 measles deaths? Start pounding the drums guys, go save some lives, lets infringe more personal freedoms and get rid of firearms! Lets cut the kids stuff though, why not get serious, start a petition to ban the automobile, what are we up to now, 2,000 deaths annually. That's a really good one, save lots of people and a big infringement of freedom. I'm awaiting the petition.

Anyway, carry on with your rhetoric. Didn't someone say a significant portion of information on the internet is false? Proven by the responses in this thread.
Two problems here:

1. Your freedom of choice endangers my daughters freedom of choice.
What’s fair here...? In any mass society, the Social Contract you have with the group requires you to compromise some freedoms.

2. Linking this to guns is a classic Red Herring argument

We need to do better
