Anyone believing banning guns will fix the problem must be unaware of knives, bombs, chemical poisoning, arson, poison gases, product tampering, highway death traps and on and on.
Normal people wouldn’t think of it, the mentally ill are obsessed with it. The police can somewhat limit gun violence, other methods could be catastrophic. We need to look at what is our best defense.

1. I never said to ban guns or even hinted at that. That is a gut reaction to make that accusation from some corners.
2. I was not speaking of murders thus I understand the murder rate. I do not understand the ease in which folks get guns, but I get the impression that simply makes me stupid, so be it.
My main thrust Is that in a few days this conversation will cease. It will not even be spoken of. I simply would feel better if our leaders at least discussed it. We Are quick to jump quickly and rudely on mundane and personal things but seem unequipped to discuss this.
As i said, I have no gun......I know guns.....from Nam, but have no desire to own one.
i just know we are not only killing our young people, we are traumatizing those who "survive"
Your key point....
"we need to take a look at..." WHEN IS MY QUESTION ?
