So of the 12,000 people murdered by firearms we're talking 2,400 people a year. That is a lot of people. Out of curiosity, how many people are killed by drunk drivers every year?

Let's say, charitably, that half of those killed are the drunk drivers themselves. Looks like you should be building a memorial to people murdered by drunk drivers well before those killed by gun violence.
Holding people responsible for killing someone with a car is the reason we have laws that require every driver to be trained and hold a license and every car to be registered to an owner who could be held responsible.
So why do you oppose laws that would require every gun owner to be trained and licensed and have every gun registered to an owner?
Even you admit that a large portion of gun crimes are committed by people who had someone else gun. So doesn't it make sense to make gun owners be more responsible with their guns. If all "lawful" gun owners are so responsible then how do these guns get in other peoples hands without ever being reported stolen?
