And as I said, I'm uninterested in a return to a world where bludgeons and knives are the only weapons (I'm not worried about that actually happpening, because what would actually happen is only the criminals having effective weapons). I only point it out to say that even if you could get what you say you want, it's not desirable. Instead you're headed straight for 100% unintended consequences.

The rate of firearm deaths among kids under age 15 is almost 12 times higher in the United States than in 25 other industrialized countries combined. American kids are nine times more likely to die from a firearm accident than children in 25 other industrialized countries combined. The National School Boards Association estimates that more than 135,000 guns are brought into U.S. schools each day. You want us to believe that all these kids are drugs criminals? PS I see MaggieL´s fetish with Occam´s Razor is almost equals to TW´s thingie with Rush Limbaugh...

Please source your statistics (and "The Brady Campaign" isn't a source). I'd like to see percapita numbers, not relative rates. (Especially if you think they can be validly "combined".) For example, in 2001 there were 21 accidental fireams deaths for US children under 15, compared with 2,100 drownings. Go read the Gun Facts book; all their stats are sourced.

I'm curious which 25 industrialized countries we're discussing as well.

Couple of points;
I think you'll find the majority of firearm deaths in this country take place in urban (low gun density per capita) rather than rural (High gun density)locations. More shootings than the other industrialized nations? Well, we do have 300,000,000 people here. Those 115,000 guns brought to school, (not to mention other weapons) are to convince the predators they are not prey. I'm not supporting the idea just explaining. Saddam passed out AK-47s, when? Baghdad violence increasing, when? Non Sequitur. If UG keeps posting, I may have to change positions.
