1. So what would be an effective deterrent for school shooters?
This one seems very easy. Making it almost impossible to get a gun would be a very effective deterrent for school shooters.
That’s impossible, so a non starter. You might as well say just making people think shooting up schools is bad would stop school shootings.
If that's the case, then that means the United States is a worthless country and that Americans are depraved individuals.
What other developed countries have made it near-impossible to own a gun?
And which of those countries had 400 million guns in circulation, virtually all of which were unregistered?
The second statement is an excuse.
It’s not near impossible to get a gun in the UK or Australia. Millions of people in those countries own guns.
The second statement is not an excuse, it’s the reality we live in. Guns are a destructive force, I don’t deny that, but at the end of the day, our country has a lot of guns, and no government policy can change that fact.
Well that’s just objectively false. No government policy
that you approve of, maybe. But there’s plenty of policies that would reduce the number of guns in circulation. Step 1: stop making new guns.
