There's the danger in your "silhouette" argument though. The picture depicts 900+ deaths as if they are all under similar circumstances. The only deaths with details were youths. While tragic, the accidents can't be compared on the same scale as malicious intent from a deranged criminal on anti-depressants. And what about all of the other deaths? Your linked picture gave no breakdown on how many of those adults died at the end of a handgun in Chicago because of a busted drug deal. So just as you have conditional acceptance for abortion, I have conditional acceptance for guns.

To wit, I'll use your verbage below:

I am in favor of Americans having access to any guns they deem necessary. I do not like the concept of murder by a full-auto (FA) rifle as a matter of principle, but I can see in certain circumstances it is preferable to watching your family die at the hands of multiple armed intruders. Taking the time to swap out your recently mandated 7-round clips just gives the intruders precious seconds to rush you.

I am not in favor of criminals stealing said weapons from registered gun owners and committing atrocities against innocent Americans with them.

An American should have rights and freedoms to possess whatever weapon they desire to protect their home, per the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution:

"The right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"

Per Merriam-Webster:

Infringement: an encroachment or trespass on a right or privilege

Fair enough?
