(8,175 posts)And how gun laws affect you, or maybe inconvenience you. I don't hate guns but I do think about the people who are killed by guns and their families and friends.
Do you have any suggestions on what society might do to stop mass killings from stressed out people, unstable people, or terrorists, or gangs and violence in poor urban areas? (well that one might be helped a lot by economic improvement for poverty stricken areas and low employment, and ending the war on drugs) Or even just random gun deaths from people who leave a loaded gun laying around and their kid grabs it?
I know the complaint...but cars kill more than guns. Why don't you try to stop cars? Well guess what. Self driving cars are so much safer than people driven cars, that some day that's pretty much all we will have. Because a healthy and caring society really does want to end unnecessary deaths wherever possible.
If this is important enough for you to armchair battle on social forums, then perhaps you could try to help with some ideas...or maybe you don't really care?
And for the record, I don't hate guns. I'm not fond of them, but I don't have a problem with some guns and their uses. I just think there are a lot of unnecessary guns in the wrong hands and people keep dying because of it.
