Questions on gun-control/rights

[EdwardBernays]

23. Yes and no

The reality is that I am looking at both. You are not. My position is therefore more nuanced, because you won't even consider banning guns. I'm open to any and everything but you aren't.

Are for only affecting gun related deaths...we're in the gun subforum. If you'd like to create a post in the lung cancer subgroup we can discuss that there. If you mean non-gun violence, none of it comes close to gun violence... And of course I am very concerned about addressing societal cohesion and economic equality... But.

How many years do you think your solution will take to reduce gun deaths by say 50%? Realistically.

Do you honestly think that the government will ever be able to sort out something complex like that? And what will you say to the families of hundreds of thousands of people killed by guns in the mean time?

Now prohibition will NEVER be completely successful... But imagine how many suicides would be prevented if only criminals had guns. Imagine how many families wouldn't have to bury a child that accidentally was shot, if only criminals had guns. Most of Europe lives in that reality - handguns are only in the hands of criminals - as a rule. And guess what? We aren't all suffering from endless gun violence because we can't defined ourselves.

And we don't have endless gun suicides. And we don't have endless gun accidents. And if we added a gun for every citizen like America has we WOULD have those issues. Why would we want to have those? To stop crime we don't suffer from?
