As for self defense, I think non-lethal weapons are way more appropriate for people looking to defend themselves in case of a home invasion.[/quote]Maybe if we had non-lethal weapons that could fire more than one or two shots, or had a range more than 15 feet.
There has to be other alternatives in the non-lethal area than that...
The point is people aren't supposed to break into someone elses house. If they get rid of guns the guy is still leaving my house in a body bag.

but also should, God forbid, a child get their hand on the weapon, the chance of a fatality occurring is smaller.People that observe proper gun safety and instill such values in their children don't usually have problems with that.
Yeah, but that's the point too. As this shooting shows, some people don't observe the proper safety precautions and/or don't instill the proper values in their kids. Now, they have access to deadly weapons.
That's their problem not yours. What if your kid finds the car keys and crashes or gets in the medicine cabinet? You don't see people saying car keys need to be locked u, guns are no different. If you leave your gun laying around and don't tell the kid to not look down the barrel or point at others then it's on you.
