(5,191 posts)You're discussing many of the root causes of general violence in society and I suspect that most people here would agree with you - certainly I would - that those are all important problems which need to be addressed. But gun violence specifically is a two pronged issue: the underlying conditions that promote violence and the extent of harm that a person disposed to commit violence, for whatever reason, is physically capable of causing when equipped with weaponry of varying magnitude. Your commendable views on the first half of that equation command my greatest respect. But you're either ignoring, contesting, or remaining silent on the second half that specifically addresses the lethality of weaponry available to those who seek to perpetrate violence, which is really what the whole gun control debate, as opposed to the societal violence debate, is all about.
