Based on your logic, guns aren't the problem, either. So in arguing against the necessity of guns, you've simultaneously argued against the long-term efficacy of gun control.
This is without getting into the implication that things like mental illness, envy, or poverty can necessarily be solved. They can certainly be exacerbated or alleviated, but they're not going to be eliminated. You will never "fix" people, and the best remedy for people being broken which the world has ever known is to give them as much freedom as possible. And any attempt to roll back those freedoms should be held to the highest possible standard of evidence; a standard that gun control arguments basically never come close to meeting.
People kill people,we know that. Guns make it possible for people kill people alot easier-would the same people who shot others be able to kill someone with a knife? you have a better chance defending yourself and surviving an attack without a gun.would the person whos attacking be able to do it without a gun? its a lot more "guts" to shove knife into someones stomach up close than to shoot someone from a distance.
Meanwhile - the woman he killed is dead for eternity.
It probably won't stop every crazy out there.
Won't stop every crazy person. There are other reasons people do these things. I doubt the man who killed Christina Grimmie last night shot her while signing autographs 'cause he needed money.
We KNOW why people need to defend themselves -- to keep themselves from being killed by psychos who want to take their innocent lives. Doesn't need fixed!
If you can say people drink alcohol innocently, then people are also innocently defending themselves with guns if someone's trying to kill them.
That can happen sometimes.
I'm not convinced of that.
the dead person will continue to be dead just like any other person who was killed,but you can then prevent others from suffering the same fate.
when did i say money was the reason he shot her?
im saying you need to figure out WHY-and in some situation money is why. you need to figure out why then build on that.
are people going to be less crazy? actually,yes maybe with proper help-or atleast less violent and if not then that person should not be out on the streets where he is a danger to the public.
if a person shoots someone because of a mental illness then you need to
find out why nobody was helping him,doctors,surroundings,work/boss or school.
when should this have been discovered? could it have been discovered (if hes older) at school? should his parents have been suspicious of his behaviour? who is responsible-is there not enough information about these issues out there,are the doctors not equipped to handle it or discover it,is it too difficult to get help?
i could obviously go on and on, i dont feel like you guys are taking into account what im actually saying,but insted talking around it.
