What study, what statistics are you referencing that has collected the thoughts and actions of the universe of licensed gun owners.
What study show owners with concealed weapons permits are an extremely small percentage of the cause of gun deaths.

Muscle memory takes hundreds of hours to be meaningful and requires constant practice to maintain. Even policeman are far less accurate in real world situations.

Last I knew that 'state' mentioned is a democracy that we vote leadership into office.

The 2nd amendment is centuries old. The framework was built based on the state of the union at that time and the capability of existing weapons. The revolver wasn't even invented until 1836. Very logical to test the premise based on the current society, what other countries have and available weapons.

There is nothing in my comments intended to be demeaning. Saving lives stands on it's own and is directed at the problem not gun owners.

I assume you acknowledge gun related deaths are too high. If not stricter gun control laws, what do you suggest be done?
Problem can be fix just like the problem with Hi-jacking pre 911 and post 911. Most people interviewed after 911 stated that they were willing to give up some personal freedom if it meant that they would be safe. Post 911 saw the creation of Homeland Security and the TSA, metal detectors at the airport. Problem will never be fix if we don't acknowledge that there's a problem. Since 911 hi-jacking of airplanes in the USA has been almost non existence.
