[quote=Anonymous]It’s naive to think these laws, if enacted, would meaningfully address or curb gun violence. All they would do is drive an industry, which is already moving underground, further underground. Illegal weapons would still be available to whomever wanted one.

Want to curb gun violence and mass shootings? Push for societal changes that lessen the chance of an individual being brought to the brink of committing mass murder. How do we do that? For starters clamp down on the rampant cyber bullying that takes place online. Boycott media moguls (movies, TV, music, video games) that profit off glorifying violence and promoting the idea that it’s cool or sexy to kill people with automatic firearms. Enact changes to education, employment, and housing policies that give more people a sense of hope or purpose in life so they can serve as better parents, role models, or mentors to youth.

“Common sense” gun laws sound nice, but they’re essentially window dressings that won’t fix the pervasive problems contributing to the epidemic of gun violence in 21st century America.[/quote]
