Why is it that whenever this topic is brought up every jumps to "DUNT TAEK MAH GUNZ" or "WE GUTTA TAEK DA GUNZ AWAI". There is obviously something bigger here.
Now both solutions won't work. If you ban guns, you will potentially create a larger black market for guns. If you make gun restrictions less, then more people can easily get guns, and potentially allow more dangerous people to get more dangerous weapons.
Both sides seem crappy. The only true solution is to look at what causes people to go out and kill each other. Their thinking is completely deranged. Something about American Society just breeds serial killers and murders; it has been like that for most of the past century. Going with either side would cause drastic change to society, and that wont get us anywhere. Change causes uncertainty. Uncertainty causes fear. Fear causes violence.
"BUT MENNEN IF PEOPLZ HAS GUNZ DEY CAN DEFUND DEMSULF" Nope. I don't want a gun. Not everyone wants a gun. Not everyone likes them. Giving everyone a gun is not the best solution to the problem of gun violence. The idea of Deterrence only works until someone gets a better gun. (Also it doesn't apply to dem crazies)
"BUT MENNEN IF WE BAN GUNZ DEN PEOPLE WUNT FIET NO MOAR" Nope. Again, black market. If someone REALLY wants a gun they are going to get that gun. You cant just take guns away from every person in the US, that's what tyrants and abusive governments do to their people. Americans have had the idea of "being able to own a firearm" engrained into their brains since America became America.
The problem is a psychological one. America is breeding killers. I don't know why, but how else could you explain our abundance of gun violence compared to other countries? Somehow, people get the idea that violence is the only solution to a problem. The only way to stop the problem of gun violence is to stop people's destructive tendencies and create a society where no one even gets the idea of shooting someone just because they don't agree with you.
And that's my two cents.
