see this is what upsets me. if a group of children are murdered anywhere, gun free zone, library, museum, park, etc that should make anyone sick to the fucking stomach, stop everything, and fix it.!
Ok, so what is the fix? What can 100% stop children from dying from guns? Because anything less than 100% wouldn't be enough so it has to be a 100% fix, otherwise it isn't a fix.
So what is the thing, or things, that will prevent it, that everyone will abide by?
Because I've thought about it - and there isn't anything at all. There are things that feel good, but won't fix or stop it. Mostly those things simply make more of an inconvenience for the people who were never going to kill kids anyway, but they'll dutifully do whatever it is, more training, more waiting, more registration, more costs, more licensing, while the person who is intent on killing kids won't do any of it, and still end up killing kids.
Personally I think we'd save more teenaged lives by restricting car licensing to 26 and by limiting, through force if necessary, every car carrying a child 16 and under, to a max speed limit of 45 miles per hour.
We'd save so many kids' fucking lives that way the gun debate would look like arguing over which candy tastes better.
But this is never about saving kid's lives, it's about getting rid of guns. It's about social manipulation to make gun owners seem like the kind of people who hate children.
I mean shit, for all the ban this type or require this list, or this waiting period - Cho killed 32 people with a 9mm and a .22 handgun, that he bought 2 months prior to killing 32 people with two very small caliber handguns. In a gun free zone. Where guns were banned. And law abiding people didn't carry them.
