My stance is "widespread availability of guns in the hands of criminal elements and mentally unstable" is the cause of majority of gun deaths. Not in the hands of law abiding, not mentally unstable citizens.
This seems to be a point of contention.
My question to you is - if it can be shown that majority of guns deaths are caused by criminal elements and mentally unstable, and NOT by law abiding citizens or their guns (e.g. stolen), will that change your mind?
If the answer is yes, I'll dig around more and try to back up my assumption.
If the answer is no, then we're pretty far apart and don't see how we can reconcile so won't bother.
