'Right' to own guns

Another murderous rampage has killed 9 people in the US. It maybe just another example of how the 'modernism' based on 'individual freedom' is slowly destroying the society. Whenever a US president tries to ban the use of household guns, the Rifle Association (which is a powerful lobby), opposes it. Even Barack Obama pledged he will do something about it but I suspect he would be allowed to do so.

The 'Right to own' guns mentality does not take into account that such guns can fall into the hands of kids (which happens frequently and ends up in murderous ramapges at schools) or people who suffer from mental illnesses or even the people cannot control their anger (which could happen to anybody really). In short, the 'Right to own' guns doesn't take into account it's impact on the society. It is blind to that. In SL also, we can see the 'rights' groups (NGOs) operating on the same concept, who are often funded by the US and Western European countries.
