Dear Syriusly[
You act like the only way to prevent violence is to take away guns?
.
No- I don't think taking away guns will stop all violence.
It just reduces the extent of the casualties.
If guns are used instead of knives and sticks, more people die.
That doesn't mean I have any interest in taking guns away from law abiding citizens
But with the same effort it would take
To prevent a person from committing violence, by addressing their problem at the root source, that would prevent either the stabbing, shooting or other crime against others.
Otherwise we could argue if it's better if someone only raped or only killed somebody, vs. If they robbed raped and then killed them which is three separate charges.
Why not stop all the criminal problem at the source instead of arguing over "reducing the severity of the symptoms"
I agree we should reduce it at all levels and from all angles. Why not target the root cause, especially since nobody disagrees with that need to address the root cause!
