The correlation between guns and mass murders

But abortion is a constitutional right.

Not anymore it isn't. And oh wait...one of these actually IS a constitutional right. As in, it's actually written IN the Constitution. (not killing with guns...but gun ownership)

You readily dismiss the tiny fraction of abortions done on rape victims as irrelevant to the larger picture, but here make an argument based on a tiny fraction of gun uses.

We have enacted laws to prevent drowning deaths in pools, like having lifeguards present, required fencing, etc.

The gun lobby objects to any and all measures designed to limit gun deaths.

There are all kinds of laws regulating guns in the US.

Again, it would help if you did even a little bit to educate yourself.

You are admitting that you consider abortion a hobby. Very interesting

That's not QUITE what the 2nd amendment says.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

It doesn't say that we have the right to bear arms if we are "in a well-regulated militia".

Since you're so big on the exactness of the law (see your comment about the law not recognizing abortion as murder, even though it's the purposeful killing of another (innocent) human being), one might think that you'd have a desire to get THIS one right too.

But alas.....

Statistics on gun deaths are not divided into victims who are "innocent" vs guilty of something.

Are you serious?

Gun Deaths in America, 2021 - Injury Facts

Gun deaths from preventable, intentional, and undetermined causes totaled 48,830 in 2021, an increase of 8% from 45,222 deaths in 2020.
injuryfacts.nsc.org injuryfacts.nsc.org

It divides it up by homicide, suicide, legal intervention, accident, and undetermined.

In other words, some of the gun deaths in these statistics are *accidents* - victims who are "innocent".

Is there another subject you want to wade into that you are woefully ignorant of yet talk as if you know something? Because your track record the past week or so is...not good.

No. Cars serve transportation needs, and only kill accidentally.
Besides anything, wrenches, soup caps, string, etc. can kill.

Guns have no purpose other than killing.

You are making the untrue assertion that no one has ever used a car to kill anyone
