It’s a clear fact i’m told that in the US., (too)many people die by gunfire…and i think there is a correlation between the number of guns per square mile and the number of casualties by these guns in any country.
One of the main reasons of existance of a state is to protect its citizens,most certainly against violent death.
So, allthough i think the discussion of the individual rights is a valid one, the common security is of higher value, allowing the state and government to take the most restrictive measures against the possession of guns, and even to claim the monopoly of physical violence in a society.
