    I personally didn’t propose any of those policies. I genuinely don’t know what would work best. I just think you are being really transparent in treating the guns themselves as having nothing to do with the issue of gun violence.

    I think everything you were saying would be great to accomplish. It’s just really disingenuous to propose them knowing there is a slim chance any of them will happen while completely ignoring the actual guns, just because you want to keep your guns.

      The statistics and other countries show that violence is mainly driven by poverty and ignorance. Work on those two main things, and you slow the violence.

        And most other countries also have much stricter gun control laws too.

        We could work on those things and the gun problem too.

        So again, you are being very transparent by completely disregarding the guns as if they somehow aren’t part of the gun violence problem.

        Either way. I think this is where I drop out of this. We are going in circles and while I agree we should work on the things you mention, we clearly just disagree about the actual guns themselves. And of course neither of us are actually in a direct position to make changes to any of those things, I assume. So you have a good one.
