Alright, we have successfully destroyed all 400,000,000 guns in the US. What do these disturbed young men, who would murder children if given the opportunity, do? Are they magically cured? Or do they rent a U-Haul and drive through a little league game? what do we do that at that point? or do you make concessions and argue semantics and degrees of lethality?

Have you looked at every other country for evidence of what they might do? I feel there is a lot of evidence there to answer your question.


Take from them the toy made to kill, _and_ fix the society.

From abroad, the US sometimes looks like a country of frustrated, violent, ignorant people, where the ability to produce money is the only value given to civilization.

Or is the whole world like that? Sure I am between the aliens on this planet - those thinking human killing-other-human shouldn’t even exist.

Let’s follow that thread about moving to another galaxy, it gives me more hopes :)


I don't know, but most other countries manage just fine. I've never heard of children running people over for fun in these places.
