Let's take the most dangerous weapons - automatic weapons and bump stocks - out of civilian hands, and create guidelines that make the process more stringent to obtain guns. Why don't we at least TRY these limiting measures to SEE if there is some measurable impact. YES, this may not be the complete solution, but we can start here and in the other areas I outline below.
I know people want their guns as a means of self-defense. Are there a lot of stories out there of people using their guns to save their lives? I'm not seeing those at all. I'm only seeing how guns falling too quickly into the wrong hands is contributing to the deaths of a lot of innocents.
Ed.: Willful ignorance isn't an argument. |

You're not seeing the self defense?
You're not looking.
500,000 to 2,000,000 times a year it happens. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
