Dave: thousands of people die each year in auto accidents. We have traffic laws,
but sometimes they don’t work. Often, in fact. Is the solution to ban the
automobile? The sad fact is that shit happens.

We are a BIG country, so the analogy breaks down, IMO. Further, there are
already a brazillion guns in this country already-- eliminating then would
be next to impossible. It would be Deja Prohibition all over again.

So because the cause, even though it’s just and best for your society, isn’t
worth the undertaking because it’s too difficult? Wow, you Yanks have come

It’s more of a pragmatic issue. Banging our proverbial heads against a wall
isn’t going to change anything, so why even attempt it? There is a better
solution somewhere. As I mentioned before; I believe that technology will solve
this problem better than some rapid, knee-jerk, stopgap measure.

Really? Trying to limit the carnage and death of your fellow citizens is
worse than doing nothing?
you’re beter than that.

What I mean is that a solution that exacerbates the problem is worse than doing
nothing. For example, some want to repeal the 2nd Amendment. YOU might think
that it is a good idea, but it isn’t. Really.
