And of course the answer to elimating these violent gun-related deaths is more and bigger and faster guns with no regulations.
That's like saying we should solve the drinking problem by providing more booze with less restrictions, or allow more texting while driving, or allow more cell phone usage while driving. Or it's like discussing lung cancer without being allowed to talk about cigarettes.

janmcn: Every issue you cite here has one common denominator and that is irresponsibility. Its not drugs, its not booze its not cell phones its not financial issues and its not guns. Its the irresponsibility of people in how they handle booze, drugs, finances, cell phones and guns. Prohobition, strict drug laws, strict cell phone laws government regulations on financial companies and gun congrol won't stop irresponsible people from abuse and misuse. Gun conrol is on of those vogue terms that politicians use when they are faced with angry people. It gets them off the hook but it is meaningless.
