it's the Guns

18. So what's the point of any sort of arms control ever?

People are the deciding factor, so why not allow every terrorist group and rogue state on earth their own nuclear arsenal? What's the point of nuclear arms treaties? After all, it isn't hydrogen bombs, it's people!

Why not allow unlimited access to bio-weapons? Everyone should have their own biological warfare capability. After all, it isn't anthrax bombs, it's people!

All you're doing is attempting to justify the gun fetish by using this old NRA talking point. It's a distraction at best, and disingenuous.

Here's another factoid for your consideration: The US has had 57 times as many school shootings as the other major industrialized nations combined.

So if it isn't the guns, I guess it's because Americans are 57 times more depraved than the rest of the G7?

You still haven't even attempted to answer the first questions I put to you, although I have answered many of yours.

And so I see no point in continuing this discussion.

Best wishes, and I sincerely hope you and yours don't ever experience the terror so many of our children have to endure, thanks to our worship of guns and our inability to work for a genuine solution.
