Ever since weapons were invented, and then when people started counting violent incidents anywhere in the world, the above questions have been answered clearly and with unanimous, overwhelming evidence. That's right! Studies which NEVER vary in their conclusions!

So why is it so hard to understand that a reduction of the number and sophistication of weapons will absolutely reduce violence?
I totally agree with you, but your comments themselves are political, in that various political groups will try to refute. I don't believe it is possible to keep politics out of this issue. And in my opinion, politics needs to be in this issue, because the politicians are the ones who can curb the accessibility of firearms. Thank you for your comments.

Let us pray for all these children and their families, and for the political discussion that hopefully will lead to better gun control laws.
