[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holy cow Americans are insane. Just stop having guns and then you don’t need to worry about light up shoes. Psychotic. Pls. [/quote]

why do we have any laws? People still drive drunk despite DUI laws. People still beat their partners despite domestic violence laws. People still steal things despite larceny laws. Guess we should just scrap those.[/quote]

Exactly. Laws are not about stopping crime or bad things from happening, laws are about punishing people after the bad things happen.

Guns are the only way to prevent violence from happening. [/quote]

I guess.. when everyone already has a gun.

I’m Canadian, and I will say I don’t get the US fascination with the gun, but once that horse has fled the barn, it’s hard to bring it back.

I know people with guns here. Hunters, sports shooters, etc. Sure, some the bad guys have guns but in general they’re inflicting danger on each other. Yes, occasionally innocents get in the way but it’s not the norm daily that people who are just mentally ill or whatever instead of actually die hard criminal are getting guns and shooting up random schools. Even here, the kids learn lockdown drills, but I don’t worry about buying my kid light up shoes because of guns. Nor do I believe that more guns stop gun violence.
