Quote:Yet the common denominator in every instance is a bad guy pulling the trigger.  Yes, the gun is most often the weapon of choice, but it's only a weapon.   Are you open-minded enough to consider the possibility that the real problem is the person who wishes to do harm to others?  Taking away the guns doesn't solve the problem, it just forces them to select another weapon.

 

So what do you do?    What's the answer?   Massive surveillance?   Watching everyone all the time?   If we're not willing to disarm everyone, then we have to closely monitor every single person in the country.   Like the novel "1984."   Big Brother is watching you.  Is that our future?   Everyone walking around with a gun, and some sort of government mechanism to monitor everyone and intervene in split seconds if they decide someone is about to pull their gun and start shooting?   Is the 2nd Amendment so sacrosanct that we give up all our other rights so we can have guns?
