My husband was seriously wounded because of a deranged lunatic!

“Once again, the scores for most states are abysmal. Most people don’t realize how few laws we have on the books restricting easy access to guns. As a result, we continue to make it too easy for dangerous people to get dangerous weapons,” says Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign. “We need tougher federal laws, but action at the state level can halt gun violence and pave the way for common sense federal gun laws.”

Weak state gun laws create a dangerous combination of risk: they don’t require Brady background checks for every gun purchase and they don’t take other actions to effectively combat gun trafficking. For example, states like Arizona, Kansas, Florida, Missouri and Texas don’t check the background of every gun purchaser, thus making it easier for felons and other prohibited purchasers to get guns, and they also have no laws on the books to effectively combat trafficking in illegal guns. As a result, they make it a lot easier for dangerous people to access guns.

Your right about one thing your husband was injured by a deranged lunatic,If he would have run your husband over with a car would you be calling for the eradication of cars,or used a knife made it illegal to posess a knife?Your trying to blame n inanimte object for what happened to your husband.Drunk drivers kill and mim more people every year thn firearms and yet if you try to demonize cars the public would tell you the same thing theNRA has been telling you for years,but you can't graft new ideas on a closed mind

People who drink are the most dangerous people when they have a gun in their hand. A person who has not been armed is far less dangerous than the one who has been harmed. There have been some very bad experiences that we should be learning from and acting in response to it. Hope that a very useful step will be taken to keep the occurrence of such incidents in future.

We need cars to get to places and we need knives to cut bread and steak and other things. We don't really need guns except to hunt. And I don't know too many hunters that use hand guns and/or assault weapons to hunt. I do agree that alcohol leads to drunk drivers which leads to deaths.
