Gun violence vs. 2nd Amendment

[JuBru]

No, but the effects of immorality can be managed, minimized, & mitigated.

This may even be an operational definition of law & justice.

Not without the government and people also accepting that every "bad" -ism or -ist will be necessary to control the population to "stop" the "horror and violence."

As I was typing this I got a text from my brother at Mississippi State - active shooter on campus, he's locked in a classroom. Prayers please!

Just saw that the all clear was issued. Classes resuming at 2 PM, no reports of any injuries.

Apparently there are a few conflicting reports. Hopefully all is well though.

We were trying to walk out and someone screamed and we stampeded back in a room. Don't have a clue. I'll keep you updated.

I read about Switzerland's gun situation years ago and never checked to see if the statements were true.

They definitely present a different perspective on the effects of gun training and gun ownership by the populace, and this from a country that is historically neutral as a military power.

I'd like to see the percentage of gun-related deaths in the inner cities versus the rest of the country. I did some bing-ing and couldn't find it.

Along those lines, it would be interesting to see the numbers comitted by those using a legally held and registered firearm versus non-registered firearms.

That's because "they" don't want you to find it. The PC jig would be up.

I'm a gun owner, but not a gun enthusiast. I'm generally supportive of 2nd Amendment rights, but I'm deeply concerned about what seems to be the increasing frequency of horrific gun violence in the US.

So what's the answer? How do we, as a society, get a handle on the senseless shootings while preserving the rights of citizens to bear arms?

I'm asking this in earnest. Please respond without name-calling (eg. libtards, gun-nuts, teabaggers, etc).

Simply put, I think it is because our society has become so PC that the real problems of society can't even be discussed because if you try you are ridiculed and demonized. When you can't honestly even state the real problems, they sure as hell can't be solved.

Hit the nail on the head, sorry, trying to be clever. Failed.
