More shootings.

[A Theist]

Every time I hear an argument which is "BUT BOMBS" or "BUT SHARP OBJECTS", I want to ask "why don't people use those weapons, instead"? Two-thirds of homicides in America are committed with firearms.

Guns give a combination of lethality and ease that no other weapon provides.

I would also like to ask where crazy people will 'find' guns if they are banned and gradually eradicated, and ammunition sales also become illegal. You can't grow them in gardens or make them out of household items. When will you understand that the reason it's so easy to find illegal guns is because we keep making and distributing ostensibly 'legal' ones? Banning guns and ammo would not solve the problem tomorrow, and the italicized word seems to make gun advocates throw their hands up and say WASTE OF TIME THEN.

You can argue for banning guns all you'd like, I'd rather argue for getting more money allocated to alleviating the root cause of the problem.

I think it's completely incorrect to present this as a "one or the other" choice. We should be doing both. I know, this does not mesh with A Theist's strawman gun control advocate. Sorry.

"I know, this does not mesh with A Theist's strawman gun control advocate. Sorry."....Not much of what you say is meshing with anybody on this side of the issue, especially when you (gun) control fanatics try to dominate the debate by setting your own terms for this conversation...Sorry if some of these guys aren't playing by your rules.
