Reply #26: No it isn't

The US has the worst murder problem in the world, and it's driven by something we don't understand yet.

The problem I have with the gunban crowd is that they are lazy. They're taking the easy way out and trying to solve the very serious issue of violence in America with a band-aid of banning guns. Do you think that will really stop violent crime? If you do, then you have to believe that guns have some sort of mind-control power over people.

We need to find out why Americans think it is acceptable to use a gun to try and solve their problems. Until we do that, the problem itself will never go away, and we will have violent crimes like knifings and beatings go way up in place of gun violence. Talk about banning guns just serves to get in the way of working to actually solve our real problems. We will never address our real problem until we quit trying to pretend that banning guns will solve our real problem.
