The Only Way To End Gun Violence Is To Ban Guns Completely
Great article. Although I will point out that they missed one point. Banning guns will only mean law abiding gun owners no longer have guns,criminals will still have them because *SHOCKER* criminals don't follow laws.
The way I see it, the gun violence problem is like the opioid problem.
Like all publicly traded corporations, drug and gun companies are pressured by the stockholders to continually grow.
Well, there are only so many people who legitimately need opioids. Once you reach that upper limit, the only way to keep growing is to flood the market with your pills knowing damn well they are going to end up in the hands of addicts. Not only in the hands of existing addicts, you know it will create a whole new bumper crop of addicts.
And that's the same with guns. We have over ten thousand gun homicides each year, just to keep the gun manufacturing and retailing business thriving.
