    So because people die in cars and obesity related issues, it's OK to continue to let people die due to guns?
    WTF? Think about what you've just said and the logic behind that.
    There's a difference between guns, cars and food, your average Joe doesn't need a gun (let alone an assault rifle).
    They generally need a car and food (and yes, I know you can strawman an argument out of this that people don't really need cars either, but lets apply some sense to this).
    Remove guns, reduce gun deaths. Pretty simple, has worked in other first world countries. The difference between America and other first world countries is when massacres happen, people go "oh shit, yeah, OK, we need to do something about this" but in America, you get people jumping around screaming "take my gun over my dead body", buying MORE of them and suggesting that more people should own more guns after every mass shooting.
    Serious cultural differences there.

    You've just stated the problem with guns: "The same would be true if one handed it to an untrained and clueless adult."
    Now, consider all the clueless adults in America and how many of them have guns.
    Do you understand what I mean about guns being dangerous now, or are you going to continue with this pathetic "it's inanimate, therefore safe" stupidity?
    Oh, and good luck training a two year old in gun safety.

    Now give it loaded to a child and say it's safe because it's an inanimate object.
    Don't worry, the kid isn't going to kill anyone, just like the gun isn't going to kill anyone.

    Tell me, what's the difference between all those things you've listed and guns?
    I know you won't get it, so I'll tell you, guns are designed to kill. Those other things aren't.
    Why American't allow so many morons to have guns is beyond me. Just look at the number of people supporting Trump to give you an idea of the shear number of morons you have in your country, are you seriously suggesting these idiots should be allowed to own something designed to kill?
    Actually, don't answer that, you're probably one of them.

    4 hour flights are unbearable? I've just completed one of two 11 hour flights back to NZ from the UK.
    Seriously though, if you want to make flying enjoyable, try flying to the UK and back from NZ with a 1 year old who just wants to walk (something I did a year ago).
    Then you'll LOVE a trivial 4 hour flight (or an 11 hour flight for that matter) on your own.
