So not only have you failed to elaborate on our gun laws and why you think they're fucked, but you've also misrepresented my position by implying that I think, "giving a gun to every redneck is an acceptable thing." You are also oblivious to our statistics which show a steady decline in homicides involving firearms, while the total number of firearms owned has been on an incline. School shootings don't happen once a week. Moreover, states like Texas which allow for the open carrying of firearms (including assault rifles) boast among the lowest rates of home invasion incidents while states like Illinois with strict gun laws boast a greater frequency of gun-related crimes.
You haven't done your homework. You're talking out your ass on a subject you know almost nothing about, and I'm calling you on it.

When a drunk driver runs over a kid, we don't ban alcohol, nor do we ban motor vehicles. When negligible gun owners have accidents, we don't ban guns. Adults don't need babysitters; if they fuck up, they will pay the price for it. You're welcome to have the opinion that guns should be regulated differently, but at least make sure you're not objectively wrong in your representation of data. Otherwise someone like me comes along, and you end up looking ignorant.

I think that he had no intention of representing any data until you asked for it.
Looks like he just came across the article and felt like posting what he did.
