Why will taking away GUNS stop SHOOTINGS?

No guns = nothing to shoot with. Get it?

This would not stop bad people from doing bad things, no.

It would lessen the availability of guns, and thus reduce the damage done by the nuts.

The more we can reduce the availability of guns, the better the situation gets.

Look at other countries.

The USA is unique in its gun freedom... pretty much total freedom to get any kind of gun and do anything with it.

The USA also has more gun violence by far than any other country.

Yes other countries have violence and some gun violence. You can go cite your examples.

The carnage in the USA, especially in this last year, outpaces all other countries by far ( not including where war or civil war is happening).

Does that add up for you now?

Or would you rather ask kindergarten kids everywhere to be brave in the face of gunman and make a sacrifice so that we can keep our gun freedoms. 'cause it sounds like thats what you are asking them to do.
