Imagine if our government treated gun violence like it does terrorism. The security we’re put through to prevent a dozen deaths a year vs. anyone can walk in anywhere with any type of gun with military size magazines & massacre a dozen in seconds. Gov response? Thoughts & prayers

Also, let's just try that little bit of gun control... I know for many that's a dirty word, but it IS bound to have a effect. Let's try it for say ten years, if it doesn't work, we'll get rid of it. What do you say?
We already have a lot of gun control measures. Gun homicide rates are already way down compared to the early 90s. What additional controls do you suggest?

I won't deny historical decline in overall trends, that is a good thing. It indicates that we're doing a lot of stuff right. That doesn't mean that we can't do more. I'm far from being an expert on American gun culture, yet a few suggestions spring to mind. No gun show loophole

Out millions of legal gun owners less the 2% ever are involved in a shooting. Most shootings are done by criminals that don't give a damn about gun laws. The majority of gun violence happens in cities, those cities have some the strictest gun laws.95%are illegal.

So, all I am saying is that yes, it sure is getting better in some ways, but also worse in other ways. Like frequency of mass shooting. People can do better than that.
