More die from choking on hot dogs, ban hot dogs?

It’s very simple. Hotdogs are more known to feed others and guns have a reputation of killing. Your examples are terrible. Please stop posting nonsense, you are poor representative for your cause.

So what? So the majority of the time they were obtained legally, that doesn’t absolve those who attained the gun any other way. That has nothing to do with the mass shooter problem.

Fair point, but that's one thing I'd criticise my country of. Being too lenient. Luckily however, we don't have many mass shooters to contend with.

Ian Huntley is one that I would have fully supported taking either one of those punishments.
