Ban guns? Provide better outlets for mental health? X Y Z etc etc.

There's a lot of ideas and 'solutions' being thrown around but nobody is doing anything at all. It's not that there's a lack of solution but a lack of action. Even if something doesn't work, isn't trying better than just shitting around?

Cause bans work so well. It is as if the prohibition on alochol never happened! Better outlets for mental health only works when people find out people have mental health issues, which even for family is hard to detect until something happens.

i'm implying that whether a ban works or not is irrelevant as the president isn't opposed to bans whatsoever but instead of guns, he went for travels instead.

Typical lib saying banning guns is an appropriate solution. While we're on it we should just ban all crime. That will stop all criminals. It's gonna take some time for the ban to work perfectly so beter slap some gun free zone stickers up right now.

There's no discussion because there's no solution, it's just apart of our country and people need to accept that, just treat them the same as you would a heavy storm. The only solution is one that appeases the right and the left.

I already told you, there is no solution to this problem you can't interfere in gun laws because it's proven that shit doesn't work, you can't predict behavior of the mentally unwell because nobody wants to pay for something with no solid results and most of all, nobody can tell the different between someone whose actually crazy and someone who isn't because surprise. Even crazy people know how to fake being sane. Finally, if it's not guns, it's knives, if it's not knives, it's bombs, if not bombs, it's a car or truck. If someone snaps and wants to kill, they will kill no matter what you do which is why it's best to just ignore it. It happens, it always happens and that's how it's always gonna fucking be. Just hope you and nobody you know gets caught up in that bullshit.

It is too deeply rooted into the American culture to simply have a simple solution.
We need multiple changes in multiple hard to change mindset objects that will take a long time to see any dramatically changes, so it is much easier to stick the fingers in our ears and scream MAH FREEDOM!!!

that's... irrelevant.

the point is that he's proven he's not opposed to bans so it follows that he thinks they work.

the only point of contention is why he thinks travel ban(let's be honest and just call it muslim ban) is a better choice than guns.

Trump knows that people will (somewhat) allow a travel ban.
He also knows that trying to ban guns would get him kicked out from the White House in one or another way.
