While these people are protecting us they should ban automobiles. Traffic fatalities in the US 2009 33,808, 2010 32,885, 2011 32,367. That is proof that cars kill people not the people in cars killing people. It was a very sad thing that happened in Newtown, CT and my sympathy goes out to everyone involved. More children in the US drown in swimming pools every year than die due to firearms.
