A side effect?? No. People are killed because of their own carelessness or
the carelessness of others. There are no accidents; nearly all traffic
collisions are the result of  vehicle code violations.Guns are used by
law-abiding people as tools for self defense and sport. It is because of an
irresponsible few that people are killed or injured by them.

Haven't shot anyone yet.

We have a lot of laws to protect people from criminals. They're not working
so well.

And yet we still have a bunch of careless, irresponsible licensed drivers,
don't we?

Yes. Let's not forget about that. Let's all thank the government for that
one. God forbid we should just look out for ourselves.
You need to take a good look at your argument, If you can be honest with
yourself.  If not, your mind is just full of liberal mush.
