What Researchers Learned About Gun Violence Before Congress Killed Funding

[Bjorn Against]

58. Read the OP and you may understand that there are very few studies on guns

I can't cite studies that stupid NRA sponsored laws prevent from ever taking place, but I don't need to cite a study anyways because I never said that childhood gun training inevitably leads to mass murder. I said that Adam Lanza's mother took him to the gun range in response to another post which claimed that kids who are taught to shoot guns are not the ones who shoot up malls.

Guns are what enabled Lanza to kill, that is why I support gun control. Cars can also kill that is why I support a requirement that people take a test to get a driver's license. Bombs can also kill, that is why I support laws that prevent the McVeigh's of the world from getting bomb making materials.

As far as what a gun nut is, I think anyone who would give a kid guns is a gun nut. I would also say that anyone who thinks it is "self defense" to stalk and shoot a kid carrying iced tea and Skittles is also a gun nut. The way to determine whether or not someone is a gun nut is to actually require gun owners to take a licensing exam to prove they know about the harm mishandling a gun can cause and understand both what self defense is and more importantly what it is not.
