Because banning guns mean they all disappear and nobody has them. That's how we got drugs to go away.

Even if you DID manage to make all the guns disappear, people would just start... making more guns.

what? no. thats crazy. your a crazy person. hey, everyone! look at the crazy person!
---

Or, how about we enforce more strict gun regulations/laws while looking into the underlying mental issues of these shooters at the same time?

Can't we multitask here a little bit?
---

how does every country that restricts guns manage to have a lower crime/murder rate than america who refuses to do anything at all?
---

nah banning guns would clearly cause more harm!!!!

thats why shootings happen ten times more often in every other first world country!!! america is safe and great!!!

-blaming the tool and not the piece of shit monster that used it... stupid

-millions of people have guns and dont kill anyone or want to

-terrorist guy in NYC got nearly half the body count in less time with a car on the sidewalk

- Schools need to be secured, a billion times more practical than banning guns and removing millions of peoples ability to protect themselves and family

- legislate to take my guns and you should be responsible for the safety of me and my family

- about a dozen guys used box cutters to kill nearly 3,000 people on 9-11-01

What stricter laws? Everyone loves to say we need more gun control and stricter laws but nobody seems to be able to explain WHAT laws. Murdering people is highly illegal... what else do you want to do?

Because in the US the media lies to the viewers about gun violence by not pointing out that gun deaths are 2/3 suicide and that other countries have stabbings, trucking and judges that let rapists off because they don't know what consent is.

Also in Osaka for example, the police lie about the crime rate to make it look better on paper.

Cause there are a ton more factors that fall into it. Mexico has a lower crime and murder rate than America?

Banning guns is not the most effective or practical solution, but it would be more effective than doing absolutely nothing.

More effective at turning people into victims. Only people who choose to follow the law will abide by it. Chicago has had the strictest gun laws in the US for 30 years and they still have one of the highest violent crime rates in America.

Because its easier to reform gun control instead of saying oh its a people problem.

And having no clue how to enforce behavioral youth

What do you want to do? Enforce stricter parenting like all these conservatives claim? You want the government to regulate how kids are raised? Thats not a viable solution

seems places with no gun control have higher gun violence but lower overall violance

if you take guns from everyone then someone unhinged will find another way. the 2 in boston did their thing without guns and 9-11 was all box cutters and planes, no guns there either

with or without guns scum will find a way to mass murder
