Radio host to CA shooting victim’s dad: ‘Stupid son of a b*tch’ should give your kid a gun

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Wrong.

Lots of ways, but none of them perfect. It is an error of binary thinking to demand perfection. "The perfect is the enemy of the good."

1) Arrest the bad guy, prosecute them, lock them up, and (this is antithetical to law&order Rs and Ts) rehabilitate them. Help them get an education, a job, anger management skills, substance abuse help. Help them have a stake in the community as as productive member in some capacity, not as a jackal / hyena circling in the shadows.

2) Don't sell guns to bad guys.

3) When guys (and gals included of course) turn bad, take their guns away. Sorry, but when a person is not well-regulated (which means not well self-regulated) the Second Amendment does not protect their gun ownership. This includes (in my opinion) anybody who commits a crime of violence or makes serious threats (for example enough to get a restraining order to protect an ex-spouse) or has a mental problem that has a reasonable chance of harming themselves or somebody else.

I'm sure there are more ways that apply.
