that is true but that is no excuse for feel good laws that do nothing but restrict rights

If you could go back in time a restrict hand guns before they became so widespread you may have been able to may have had affect but the laws they are trying to pass now will do nothing to curb the gun violence mentioned and will only restrict the rights of legal guns owners. They want to use the slaughter of innocent children as catalyst to pass the laws they want but then they look at you like you have grown a third out if you point out that none of the laws they are proposing would have prevented the attack. Sorry but I am not willing to give up rights just to give a bunch of wanabe do-gooders a warm fuzzy.

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

You will never stop or reduce violence. Ever

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*

Is there? Without guns the rate of violence will fall heavily?

there are ways to reduce the violence but new guns laws are not one those ways

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

This has more to do with resenting all the "...and another thing!" threads on the subject of late.
