Can’t kill 17 kids in a high school with a bat thoughIt seems like much of the time the people who are in favor of banning or restricting guns really don't know what the hell they're talking about. They want to ban this "scary" gun over here but don't know "that" gun over there is pretty damn similar. They say shit like they want to get rid of "fully semi-automatic assault rifles" as if that means anything. They perceive something being illegal to mean it can't be done.
Some say they only want restrictions and more background checks, others say they want certain guns banned, and others say they want all guns banned. Those who say they just want some more restrictions but not all guns banned do so under a guise that they don't want them all banned, but they really do. With baby steps and people giving away their rights, I think it'll eventually happen, unfortunately.
If/when restrictions go into place, the response will either be, "Wow, this works, but there are still shootings, we need to ban more guns!" OR "Hmm, this isn't working, people are still shooting up schools, I guess we just gotta ban more guns!"
With any other "problem", we try to find the root of the problem and fix that. Why do people act like there is a "gun" problem when it's a HUMAN problem? If you take away all the guns, you're still going to have crazy people wanting to fuck shit up. And as I'm sure we all know, there are plenty of ways to fuck shit up without a gun. Why don't we go after the root of the problem and figure out why people are going on mass shootings? Get rid of the reason people want to go shoot people up and guess what....they won't do it! Give 100 normal people a gun and no one gets hurt. Give 100 crazy people a baseball bat and all of a sudden we'll have a "baseball bat problem".
