Another mass shooting happens and the age old war of words between the right and left (and libertarians) marches on. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the problem of gun violence finds no solution. Simply enough, what ideas have been offered up by the right/libertarians?
Many libertarians advocate legalizing drugs, to reduce gang related homicides, and to offer alternatives to alcohol, which often disinhibits violence. Better mental health awareness, a key theme in my teaching, is also crucial to suicide prevention.

Okay. It seems to me that this is how conversations about gun violence should sound. If the left is at all responsible for understanding the constitution and how guns work, the right is at least equally responsible for trying to find solutions to gun violence.

I'd also say that even if the left were more ignorant of the constitution/guns than they already are, their concerns and motivations aren't totally irrational. They're worried about their kids being shot at school, and - even if we reduce it to stats - they have reason to be.
