Something has to make it go away. Guns are a problem, plain and simple. Denying that is erring on the side of ignorance.
Stating that people need guns to defend themselves from criminals who have guns merely perpetuates the problem, because it ensures guns remain within society.
To completely remove guns from everyone, properly doing it so that no guns go underground to be illegally sold, is the only logical course at this point.
It is not logical because it is not achievable. Unless you want a repressive police state to make it happen.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
