No we need to fix our society. No gun laws are magically going to stop the violence. Safety nets, education, removal of for profit prisons, single payer healthcare, and ending the war on drugs will curb more of the violence in our society than any gun law you can dream up.
Yes, I have to agree the problem is not just gun laws, and, in isolation, changes to gun laws would not fix the root of the problem.
Off you go then. Let us know when you're all done fixing it and you can have your guns back, because all you're doing here is admitting that the current gun laws are incompatible with the America we live in today.
You're plan is to put a bandaid on a cancer patient.
Remember 5 seconds ago when you said there wasn't a problem with legal gun owners? That's the trouble with just collecting excuses from lobbyists and gun owners without actually thinking for yourself -- you end up mashing all your apolgism together in contradictory ways. Looks like you don't have enough of your cult friends here to bail you out either.
Anyway do you know what doctors actually do with cancer patients? They treat them over a period of months or years, incrementally attacking the cancer bit by bit until no trace of it remains.
But when the tumors turn up in your body, be sure to tell your doctor that letting the cancer spread is better than any solution that isn't instantly and completely effective.
