In reply to the discussion: Fact - Guns Have One Purpose - To Destroy What Is In Front Of The Barrel [View all]duhneece
(4,112 posts)And I look at the reduction of car deaths per car miles from early days to now & see many similarities to what I want, fewer gun deaths.
With cars, we realized that getting rid of all cars would stop car deaths entirely, but the resulting increase in walking deaths, death on horseback or mules, etc. justifies SOME car deaths.
But we reduced car deaths by better roads (more lanes, the slope on curves, when it rains, etc.), better laws, better licensing policies, better brake design, better steering design, seatbelts, etc.
I think we need better mental health research & treatment, gun licenses should be reviewed periodically just as drivers' licences, better gun laws, a whole slew of changes, all of which began with raising awareness of the need to change things...now to dialogue, discuss, try new policies in small bits...
