Can we at least agree on this aspect: Self-regulation is ALWAYS better than government mandated regulation?
Westbrick makes a good point about driver's ed. The government has all these tests required for you to get a driver's license... and still an incredible amount of people are terrible drivers and/or have no problem driving drunk.
If tests and licenses actually meant anything, then I would be way more inclined to trust gun regulations. Though to be fair, American drivers are significantly better than drivers in other countries. I don't know why that is, exactly, but yeah. Maybe it's because we have right turns on red lights or something.
But yeah I trust the effectiveness of things like the ESRB and NRA gun training and Google/Youtube self-censorship over driving laws and drug/alcohol laws and SOPA/PIPA, etc.
Also there's that whole 2nd amendment thing
