(56,582 posts)It seems pretty simple but people just don't seem to grasp it:
I personally don't believe that gun prohibitions will do much to actually reduce the prevalence of guns.
Can we at least stop attacking a position I don't have? I don't "like" guns. I don't think they're "awesome". If I could wave a magic wand and make them all disappear I would.
However.
It is my opinion that prohibition of easily concealed and manufactured things is going to be largely ineffective, particularly in a large and decentralized country like the US.
Now, I also have no idea why you think I favor "doing nothing". We've seen a dramatic (unprecedented, in fact) drop in gun violence in this country over the past 20 years, and so what I'd really like to do is figure out why that happened and see if there's anything else we can do along those lines.
