you guys stop trying to take guns away and idiots will stop buying them out of fear.

Casualties of natural selection.

I thought a good guy with a gun was suppose to stop a bad guy. Not shoot another good guy.

So what? If 10M Americans use guns to kill 10M Americans each year I STILL have a Constitutional right to own guns.

Will it EVER dawn on you idiots that guns aren't the problem, people who misuse guns are?

“It's a serious and provocative study, but it's important to keep in mind that in the grand scheme of things, accidental deaths are relatively rare,” said David M. Studdert, a professor at Stanford Law School. “Suicides and homicides, that's the main game that researchers are trying to figure out when it comes to the causal relationships between guns and mortality.” “It's a novel approach, and it will spark a lot of discussion and additional work, which is much needed. But I don't think this will be the final word,” said Philip Cook, a leading gun policy expert at Duke University. One nagging point, he noted, is that while the spike in gun sales after Sandy Hook was significant, it only added a small amount of guns to the country's total gun stock. “It's surprising that such a small increase in the overall gun stock could have such a large effect on one category, accidental deaths, and yet no effect on other categories,” he said.

Sounds like a lot of people need to up their training. This is almost universally preached by gun rights activists.

Probably increased fake firearm sales more than anything

The study found that accidental gun deaths increased, but the surge in gun sales had almost no effect on homicides and suicides that were intentionally committed — and that make up the lion's share of gun deaths in America.

So what it really means is that fear mongering causes gun ignorant people to rush out and buy and more accidents happen?

This is an unintentional consequence of fear mongering to me
