What kind of gun shall we ban next, squirt guns? How about cap guns?

I thought that the 2nd ammendment gave the right for well regulated militias to carry arms, not private individuals.
Countries outlawing gun ownership (Sweden, UK, Japan etc) are generally safer (less violent crime) than the US.
Another way of looking at it is that the gun consumers should pay for the associated costs (accidents, pollution etc) of allowing guns. It could be a VAT on the gun and ammo price, but the gun lobby would prolly not like this, because they are in the pocket of the gun companies.
People kill people, but the gun helps.
