Well liberties are one thing, but I'm not sure if guns are a essential factor in the functioning of a society. You don't exactly need a gun to live, or go to work, or what not. They are primarily weapons, above all else - and if society can function without guns (such as in places like Canada), why not take the next step to reduce deaths and lower crime rates?
