Restrictions won’t stop them all. Heck look at Mexico, stricter gun laws than here and double the murder rate with guns.

Which is why I’m saying we work on the mental/emotional systems for the next generation. We aren’t guiding people to be emotionally well rounded. Will it take time, yes, but it’s a long term solution.
2014 a man in China killed 29 people and Injured 115, with a Knife. I’d say that’s comparable given the number of people that were affected directly.
I would also like to point out that the worst mass shooting to date, with 77 people having been killed happened in Norway, which has stricter gun laws than America. The UK, France and Germany have also had Mass shootings within the last 10 years.
See you’re only focusing on one part of the problem. It will help prevent mass shootings, but what about ALL the other forms of violence performed by human being against one another.
You are a horrible debater, I do hope you realize that. A door to door exam doesn’t fix anything, I was thinking of actual emotional development from childhood to adulthood like a school system but for emotions, which would be expensive and time consuming. Something that actually get’s to the root of the problem.
I think thoughts can go a long way, as people have to develop plans that can assist in rectifying an effort, and yes that is a long term plan. But it’s really going to be the only way to prevent these kind of tragedies.
But you can also do it more quietly without alerting anyone, there are such things as mass stabbings and have injured and killed many people in countries without open gun laws. Plus the whole point of that particular line is that regardless of what you take away from them, humans will find a new way to kill each other…
That is not my argument, I would suggest you dig deeper and view my conversation with vein11 on the matter.
I’m not so engrained in my stance that I can’t be reasoned with. And I’m will to also admit that I’m seeing more your point here, weapons with high fire rate and ammo capacity are unnecessary for civilian use.
I would like if the NPC’s that were intractable were tied to side stories and stuff, give us more lore about the city and the immediate area that way. I will say I don’t miss that one NPC who said “Welcome to <Insert name here>“ and that’s their whole purpose.
Your first point, I actually thought that was already happening or is that a state decision? I will agree a 3 day wait period and a mental evaluation should absolutely be required, 100% I agree with that. And yeah no one needs an Assault rifle, again I will agree with that as well.
If guns are THE problem, then how do you explain the Boston Marathon? They used pressure cookers with scrap metal, it was a home made explosive...and not the only kind people have used in these kind of mass attacks.
Didn’t say there was no way to prevent it. Gun control will only stop Guns from being used in this fashion, but there are different ways to achieve the same level of destruction.
Well that was a hyperbole statement, but my point stands. Look at the Boston Marathon, no guns but they caused massive damage using pressure cookers and scrap metal. There are more things that can kill massive amounts of people that can be made in your home with simple store bought items.
I didn’t mean to say that it being hard is a reason not to do it, my reasoning is that it’s not the actual source of the problem.
Didn't say do nothing, I think we should focus on the real problem, which is the People Commiting the Crimes. Focus on the population become mentally healthy and stable would do a lot more than just simply removing one of many weapon possibilities.
I don’t actually own a gun, but nice assumption. What I'm suggesting is addressing the real issue, which isn't guns but the rampant amount of violent individuals. How about we put our money into finding ways to help people become stable, productive members of society rather than spend it all on controlling their tools…
Well I’m suggesting we do something about the mental health and well being of the people in the country rather than simply address the Tools they use. The source is the People, therefore if you want to fix the Real Problem you have to address the Source.
I mean, I don’t really see what further gun regulations could hope to accomplish. The guns are already out there, and a lot of owners will be HARD to reason with to relinquish them.
