Not sure if lawn darts can be compared to the 2nd ammendment and the right to own firearms, but I get your drift.

Things will change, as they always do. Not long ago I remember never having gun locks or safes, but things have changed. Is it as fast as you and others would like? Probably not, but that is not from a lack of will, which is your opinion. There will always be a shift toward safer living, but you can not ram it down people's throats.

Personally, I would rather own a firearm than not. I obviously do not own one in Thailand and probably never will, but I will continue to own one in the US, where it is allowed for home protection, whether it is agreeable to you or not. You, or anyone else will not change all the gun owners feelings on that fact. Can measures be implemented that make things safer? Sure there are and I have never disagreed with that as long as it does not take away the right to own a firearm.
