If every American had a gun would there be more or less dead bodies ?

wrong question.. if everyone had firearm training in high school. would that change the way the kids look at guns . and yes people should have the right to own a gun.. its not the guns
@markansas the truly unthinkable question is if no american had any gun?....

@markansas Correct. It isn't the guns. It's people with guns.
So how do we get the guns out the hands of people with bad intentions?
I've seen a lot of gun enthusiasts say that is just the cost of freedom.
@Paladin whatever you like. The countries without the shooting aren't all free. Sometimes without a welfare state, nobody is ever free. I imagine that American people like having freedom be for the very few, while forced work is huge for most people. It's up to you.

@Roundandroundwego Your reply doesn't seem to line up with what I said.
In fact, I'm not sure what you are going on about.

@markansas I personally believe that if we are to have the right, gun education and safety should be covered in schools.

Honestly, being taught about stuff in school can kill the 'cool factor' of a lot of things. You can reveal the gun for what it is, a tool for killing. Destroy the illusions that it projects manliness and you might even see gun ownership go down without actually violating anyone's rights. They will just be making more informed decisions about the tools they believe they need for their personal lives instead of trying to acquire status symbols.
