Criminal Deeds

[Jester]

I'm not saying slowing someone down isn't important. What I'm saying is you won't stop things like this from happening.

If mass shootings become mass knife woundings, is that not a win? If domestic violence ends in a trip to the emergency room, rather than the morgue, is that not better?

You disarm the innocent and the evil have easier targets. Yes, we need gun control, but to use tragedies like this to push laws and regulations to the maximum is wrong. It's too little too late for many and victimizes others even though it works for many reasons. The only way I think, is to arm the responsible and law abiding and allow them to carry more openly. You cannot undo the wicked by punishing the good.

Once again, these are just assertions. I could, if I cared to, assert precisely the opposite, and we could just yell at each other until we were blue in the face. But assertions are only as strong as the evidence behind them.
