(13,897 posts)To the extent that happens now with guns, then we can address those cases as well. Yet that doesn't happen frequently, if at all in this country. When was the last time sometime murdered a dozen people in a few minutes with a switchblade on a college campus? When did a 4 year old toddler grab his father's Louisville Slugger and bludgeon his infant sister to death with it? Please direct me to these epidemics so we can address them. You can't do that because those epidemics do not exist in this country.
Gun violence is a daily occurrence in this country, if not an hourly occurrence for some cities. The solutions from my side are gun centric because guns are the one common element in the violence and problems we are trying to prevent. Your infatuation and obsession with those death tools have apparently blinded you to this fact. The only unrealistic solution here is the one you advocate which is to do nothing - and that is not a solution at all. By refusing to contribute to finding a solution, you become part of the problem. If you don't like the solutions from my side, be it repealing the 2A, mandatory registration, mandatory gun locks and imprinting, ammo taxes or whatever, then by all means, bring your own ideas to the table. Your side never does that which leads sensible people to believe you don't care about this massive problem and you don't want the violence to decrease or end, possibly because it reinforces your irrational gun obsessions. Our society as a whole benefits tremendously if we remove all guns and that benefit greatly outweighs your fragile pysche's want to own one (or dozens).
