The sophistry needed to believe that the solution to gun violence is MORE guns has always been utter bullshit...just like the 2nd ammendment freaks who believe their rifles and shotguns will allow them to repeat the Revolutionary War exploits of 'defense against tyranny'.

More guns in schools simply increases the odds of a shooting.
More guns in stores? Same thing...
More guns in society? Yep, math still checks out - more of "A" (guns), which causes "B" (shootings) leads to more dead people...

Then I will of course hear "good guy with a gun" fallacy and "but there will be fewer dead good guys and more dead bad guys" as if ANY dead guys is inevitable and OK...

Its all bullshit already, oppressive, nonsensical bullshit, and so the money and blood flow and the profits stack up higher than the dead bodies and society grows more numb to the issue as if its just natural for people to die from impact of high velocity slugs of bullets fired at them or near them or in their vicinity.

Spare me.
We don't have gun laws because we have a stupity problem that no one wishes to address - becasue to do so impacts someone's profits and we can't have THAT precedent getting out (SARCASM)
