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

Most of the violence is being carried out by a very small group who own a very small percentage of the guns. None of the laws being considered will do a thing to reduce that small group’s access to guns so the violence will not be reduced. Fairly simple math there.
1600 gun deaths and counting since Newtown massacre

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?

best that we enforce the current laws then, as obama has directed in his executive orders

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

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.
