And the debate begins again...

With the most recent mass shooting in the States, there has been more and more talk of firmer gun control - and the debate begins again. Before I begin, I'd like to state that I am obviously biased in this discussion as I don't own a gun, will probably never own a gun, don't believe that the average person should have a gun and am Canadian. I'm not going to bore everyone with all of the same old statistics that we've all heard before, for those, you can go watch "Bowling for Columbine" or read a newspaper or watch the news these days and you'll come across plenty of reasons why gun control is important, in fact, Neil Macdonald summed it all up very well on CBC news the other day (read it here). All I'm going to say is this, if you think you "have the right to bear arms", go right ahead and keep your shotgun in your basement, but if you want to argue with me that you should own a gun that is designed solely for the purpose of killing people, quickly and efficiently, then you are ridiculous. The gun used in that shooting in Connecticut was not designed for self defense or hunting dear, it was designed to kill. What gives anyone the right to do that?
