You're missing the point. To solve violence you need to fix the cause not the tool. we as humans worldwide have problems with 3 simple things. Poverty, education and mental health. Fix those things and a multitude of problems including gun violence is fixed. I personally think there should be stricter gun laws in the united states but an outright ban is not going to fix things the way people think it would. People who think banning guns will suddenly solve mass violence are simple minded and not looking actual causes. I think people should be in the positions to be happy healthy and educated enough to properly choose what to do with our own lives. We should be able to live with less government control not more.

While I agree with you that all of those issues are real, gun control is the way to start the process

Which is why I'm for more laws without a ban. You own a gun, don't lock it up, your kid goes postal at school. That parent should be locked up for life. Anyone who wants a gun should be responsible and if you fail in that responsibility I believe you should pay a price. Someone will buy a 800 dollar gun but can't buy a 200 dollar lock case or safe? No excuse.

I guess I just have an issue when those of us who are law abiding citizens are being asked to give up freedoms because of nut jobs with bad parents.

Society is only as fast as its slowest citizen, unfortunately. Every time some nut job shoots up a school, everyone who supports those "freedoms" is at fault.
