  I think the issue is that guns make it easier to kill. Yes there will always be bad people out there, but how easy it is to act out on their emotions?

  One statistic that I found interesting is that despite the huge difference in murders between the U.S. and U.K., the number of suicides is about the same. In the U.S., people tend to use guns to kill themselves, while in the U.K. they use pills or other means. Without access to guns, they simply used alternative means.

  However with murder there isn't such a good alternative to guns. Regardless of whatever random examples you can come up with, it simply isn't as easy to run someone over or stab them as it is to gun them down. And especially for mass murder like the Colorado shooting, there is almost no way to do without guns.

  • I'm not a fan of guns but they are easy to get...a ban is not going to make them harder to get and it's not going to make people stop using themFawnDog
