Americans has shown that en masses they are incapable of safely owning guns.

Less than 1 percent of Americans misuse guns resulting in death or injury.

That shows that en masse , Americans are very capable of owning guns, and that its a tiny minority who are not.

Facts beat your hyperbole. Every time.

Not all tools are created equal and some tools should be outlawed - or at least stringently regulated - even if they have legitimate uses. Which handguns do not.

Your opinion, and the fact that it does not include self defense as a 'legitimate' use of a handgun, are noted.
