The challenge here is that a 'solution' has to be aimed at the actual problem(s) in order to work. We know the guns aren't causing this - therefore, pushing new gun laws as a solution is insane. "...nations do behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.” This 'do something, even if it's wrong' mindset just sacrifices more kids until we try all of things that can't work. That's a stack of body bags I'm not willing to contribute to.YankeeTarheel wrote:My point is that if Constitutional solutions aren't developed for an obvious, deadly problem, UNConstitutional ones will be enacted in their place. And if they work? They'll be untouchable.
