• More people have been killed by guns than by terrorist attacks
• Some argue that constitutional rights should not be set in stone; they

• Therefore the real priority is not gun control but the eradication of injustice

• In homes guns can easily fall into the hands of the young
• The gun lobby and vested interests
• Limits to gun control – self-protection, hunting, other sports
