Free will is both the greatest gift in the world and the most terrible. Human beings are savage creatures. Whether we use guns or sticks and stones, violence will never stop as long as we have free will. They will always be war. There will always be lust, greed, jealousy. Always.

That is a tragic number but the laws they are proposing would have stopped very few of those deaths

Perhaps, but we can still limit the damage done by controlling access to guns. *NM*

There's a gigantic difference between the "stop" and the "reduce" you so casually equate. *NM*

I like how you say 'something more concrete' to describe 'nothing new'

i guess in this case "more concrete" means "not just swept under the rug anymore"

I don't believe it has ever been swept under the rug in our lifetimes
