Is this initiative for public safety? Firearm accidents contribute only about 6 percent of all accidental deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The real reason is to slowly disarm American citizens. Tyrants have always disarmed their population before taking over control. Why should we set ourselves up for potential tyrants?
