> Support gun control if you want to reduce gun violence in this manner
The main problem with gun control is the inability of our society to honestly talk about who is doing the shooting and why. This eliminates any chance of enacting reasonable policies. The point of sale gun control favored by Democrats observably has little actual effect on gun violence, because, obviously, it only affects people who are already inclined to abide by laws, such as the ones against shooting people without good reason. On the other hand, the point of use gun control favored by Republicans demonstrably and significantly reduces murders with guns by discouraging people who are prone to shooting other people over trivialities from carrying their illegal firearms.
- gigaflop 4y agoOne problem I find is that the issue has become extremely polarized in the US, and that there is little room for 'middle ground' opinion. In many cases, it ends up looking like a classic scene of 2 people arguing from emotion, rather than reason, unable to budge until one side capitulates and gives up talking.
