The whole analogy assumes that much greater level of control of guns is both possible in
America, and desireable, apparently because it assumes that the guns themselves are bad in a way similar to how cancer is bad. We try to cure cancer
because it is bad and any reduction of it is good.


Your post is an excellent case for gun control, if you assume gun control to mean legislated/earned_right to carry a weapon....and not the NRA definition, which plays on emotions and scare tactics. Gun control does not have to mean a reduction of legally owned/carried guns...it is desirable to control who is legally allowed to buy and carry them.
