    The sad fact is that the gun genie is out of the bottle. It's not going back in. It's not. 

    One thing we could do is start paying attention to the freaks and weirdos before their social isolation and cries for attention lead them down such a dark and devastating path. 

    Both of these are good ideas. Smart guns make a lot of sense. 

    Unfortunately a lot of powerful lobbies and bought politicians are against them

  • @canton-dawg said:

    Is there an Amendment to legalize all drugs?

    I'll let you figure that out.

    So laws won't limit or prevent bad guys from getting guns.... But we should keep drugs illegal?

    Depends on the drug.

    There’s illegal drugs and legal drugs...a yin and a yang in some cases.

    Would we need Narcan if we can rid the streets of heroin?

    I don’t see the U.S. ever being drug free.

  • What good are 'smart' guns?  Who will buy them?  No one.  There are hundreds of millions of 'stupid guns' already on the streets, that will last for decades.

    Dear God,

    What about all of those shootings not at schools?

    And after that?

    You have to start somewhere. Something being a lot of work or taking time to take hold aren't excuses to do nothing

    You're already saying that gun control laws will make no impact on gun violence. Why keep any drug illegal then?

    Well one of the reasons is a very similar reason that those who are against gun violence would never accept a zero tolerance policy. Lawyers, which comprises almost every one of our lawmakers, I would imagine rakes in a huge amount of money defending drug dealers pushers and users. Zero tolerance for gun possession would take away a big bite of the lawyers profits defending the scumbags.

  • But remember Woody the consequences of the insane guy, which is probably 1 in millions, is a few people being shot at once. The consequences of somebody getting a hold on some crack or crystal meth are probably nothing more than he gets high. So it doesn't really make the news even with however many thousands of drug deaths there might be in a year. Just like we don't really care about handgun murders in the hood.

    But still even though those drugs are dangerous why should an adult, knowing what the consequences are to his self, not be allowed to buy them?

    Well, we as a society have an obligation to protect the stupid people who walk among us.

    We could make all of the drugs as over the counter, including meth, heroin, cocaine, LSD and let the herd thin itself out...is that ok?

    I'm asking you. Either laws matter, or they don't. 

    If laws won't prevent bad guys from getting guns then there's no reason to try and make abortion illegal either.

    There is no Amendment that guarantees Americans the right to own illegal drugs. they still get them.

    If you think even MORE gun laws will make difference, your living in a fantasy world.

    All that’s going to happen is there will be a sharp spike in the price of these weapons coming from south of the border.

    The drug cartels would love that scenario, they could smuggle drugs and guns...it would be a win win for them.

    Well Banning automobiles is a little bit facetious but how about raising the driving age to 21?

    If no one buys them that's fine too. I'd rather no one bought one than everyone had 10
