"If we ban guns they will just find another way." Then let them find another way. Let them try to kill dozens in a matter of minutes with a goddamn butter knife. Let them hurl stones. Let's force mass murders to get creative as hell. Because I'm tired of it being easy for them.

It doesn't have to be either or. Make the guns & ammo harder to get AND fix it so all kids have health ins cover.

Howabout taxing the hell out of guns and ammo and using said taxes to fund free health care ins for children?

Sure. That’s be great. But the thing is, you have to be careful about that, too. If taxes are too high, people will turn to the black market for that as well.

"Sure. But the thing is ..." Always the retort of the failed argument. Look how convoluted you have made this. There is an 8000 lb Gorilla in the room [unfettered private guns] and a myriad of indirect, interacting factors. You prioritize the peripheral over the direct.

You also imagine scenarios (e.g., black market) but ignore realities and lessons from other societies. It turns out that other countries without gun violence have black markets for guns. They are small & the costs are inaccessible because there is no cheap legal market for guns.

That’s not how prices are set, dude. It’s supply and demand. Other societies have low demand and much lower supply. For the thousandth time, we have over 320 MILLION unregistered weapons here. That’s a massive supply. In inner cities, you can buy illegal pistols for 1/5 retail.

Literally $50 for a semi-automatic .380 pistol in Baltimore. Sells retail for $250.
