re: #103 William Barnett-Lewis

Does he want to ban bows & arrows too? See Casper, Wyoming the other day. Or knives? Kid in china took out a dozen folks with blade before the police perma-stopped him.

Fixing the problems that lead people to seek violent solutions - ending poverty, providing physical & mental health care, decent education, providing people with meaningful employment, providing non-depraved entertainment, and so forth - is much harder and much more expensive than blaming the tool used when the person snaps due to one of the above issues.

Yeah but did Bob Costas say he wanted to ban anything or was he just discussing a gun culture — of which there are several. One must not assume that a critique of a gun culture leads to ban guns.
