@sapinker not read the article, but I don't think anyone thinks 'violence' is the problem, rather 'lethal violence'
@sapinker Prof Pinker now citing National Review! / whatever will the campus snowflakes now do/the trauma may even cause them to sue
@sapinker Astonishing that this piece uses a multiple shooting as hook yet declines to consider that multi-homicides only happen with guns.
@sapinker Stopping the epidemic of gun-related suicides should be enough of a goal in itself.
@sapinker @aduanebrown let's face the truth the bad guy will always get his hands on a gun that's a fact
@Ineed2pinacolad @sapinker @aduanebrown the "bad guy" is that lady that just pointed a gun at my face because I honked at her. x30,000
@sapinker The data conclusions presented in that article contradict findings from the Harvard Injury Control Center:http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/hicrc/firearms-research/guns-and-death/ …
@sapinker In fact the answer is clearly No. Even without gun deaths the US is #1. @SteveStuWill
@sapinker There is still going to be crime!.... The purpose of gun reform is to decrease casualties, limiting 50 or 100 + bullet magazines.

@sapinker you are far too smart for this. Violence down as guns proliferate
@sapinker Eventually it could, but there would have to be consensus that it us necessary.
@mleggers @sapinker Their homicide rates were declining already BEFORE the ban. Plus, the US has a VERY different situation.
@themanclaw @sapinker Yes we do. The people in the US care little about peace, or living without fear. They choose guns over public safety.
@themanclaw @sapinker ~ And we're so rabidly insane about it, we *refuse* to consider any non-'pro-gun' view as anything but 'unpatriotic'.
@themanclaw @sapinker ~ When a 6-yo child refuses to go 2 bed, you can't talk them into it. You have to put them 2 bed. Talking = pointless.
@themanclaw @sapinker ~ When pro-guners refuse to accept regulation, you have to enforce anyway, even when they're kicking/screaming loud.
@okayultra @themanclaw @sapinker By voting for people who will both make it law, and make sure that it is enforced or disciplined properly.
