Most of which were either violent criminals, who don't deserve to still be swimming around the gene pool anyway, or suicides. Japan's suicide rate ( 3x our own ) shows how effective guns laws are at curbing Seppuku, and every dead rapist, murderer, and mugger is "score one for the good guys," as far as I'm concerned. We enact the provisions you call for, and that "10,000" number you quote will be swallowed by a massive, sudden tide of violent crime, as it is being swallowed now in Britain, Australia, Russia, South Africa, etc etc etc.
Do the math, SF. 10,000 dead/2,000,000 crimes thwarted. Now, allow for those 2M crimes to occur, a fair number of which would result in the death of the victim. THINK ABOUT THIS ONE FOR A MINUTE, willya!?
I can deal with 10,000 dead criminals, suicides, and morons a LOT better than I can deal with 2,000,000 more violent crimes a year.
Dead Criminals: deserved it.
Suicides: Would still find a way. Empire State Building, anyone?
Accidents: These people need to be out of the Gene Pool anyway. The gun did not "accidentally go off" all by itself, someone pulled the trigger while mucking around with it and blew their own brains out. CDC stats show that 80+% of all accidental shooting victims...pulled the trigger on THEMSELVES, not the neighbors 2-year-old like in the commercials.
Anyone dumb enough to be screwing around with a gun like that does NOT need to be reproducing and taking air, food, water, and gasoline away from productive, intelligent people.
