I need to put this somewhere [Thoughts on Gun Control]
13 years ago
I'm not interested in straw man arguments about the meaning of the 2nd amendment when it was written. It's there, the genie is not going back into the bottle. Banning guns would not solve the problem. There would simply be more stabbings and beatings.
1) Publicly known weapon free zones are nothing but invitations for mentally unstable people to commit these kinds of disturbing violent crimes. By say there are no weapons and no guns here you are saying that there is little chance of resistance for the 10-15 minutes (if it's a good day, and you are lucky) it takes for police to respond.
2) Waving a bloody shirt to push an agenda is and will always be disgusting. Decisions made out of fear and outrage will never lead to good outcomes.
3) Tragedies like this highlight the need for better public support structures and better mental healthcare.
4) People that want illegal firearms to do illegal things will still get them. We as a nation can not secure our borders, the war on drugs (as laughable as it is) has proved this. Guns would be even easier to bring into the country than drugs as there are no gun dogs, or gun chemical sniffers.

Take a look at the UK, guns are banned, last year stabbings and knife related offenses went up 1000% or something ridiculous like that.
banning guns only fucks over those of us who legally use them, if your a criminal, your gun is most likely bought out of the back of a car in an ally, with no serial number, and was smuggled into the country in the first place.
