Something needs to be done, you are correct. Its gotta be cultural. I'm watching CNN, and Dr Drew just hit the nail on the head. The problem isn't guns, its us. All of us.
Think about it, what kind of a society creates people that do this regularly? How many school shootings is this now?
Yes, removing guns would lower body counts in these incidents. But they won't reduce the number of incidents. We would have to then ban knives, eventually tape oven mitts to everyone's hands to keep us from harming one another.
We need to look to how to reduce the number of incidents that happen.
Oh Charlie, not the 'slippery slope' argument (unless you're being sarcastic)
You missed my point entirely.
I am saying that guns make these incidents more terrible, yes, but the US has become a culture where these events have become commonplace. We could tape oven mitts to our hands, and terrible thing would still happen.
While I am not a 2nd Amendment supporter, I realize that guns are not the problem here. The society that creates these killers is.You're right, society that creates the killers is the biggest problem. But guns are a part of the problem, and restricting them is something we can do rather easily.
