KamikazePotato 02/14/18 8:08:13 PM #290:	pjbasis posted... People who desire to commit mass murder will do it either way. I get that killing people with 55 forks is a lot harder, but like bombs and trucks are used as murder devices all the time too. Bombs and trucks are much harder to use/make/come by, or even to consider. Guns are extremely common and are embedded deep in American culture. If all guns in the US magically disappeared, it's extremely likely that mass murders would go down significantly. The logic I'm seeing used is "well it's possible to kill people with other stuff than guns, so why target guns?" Maybe because revising gun laws would make things better? Progress should not be opposed just because it doesn't immediately solve all problems. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:896099116] in Politics C...
