Not gun control
Guns are not the problem, as claimed by a precious few againsters of firearms for private or public protection, and gun control is not the answer.
The problem is people who decide to be criminal.
Eliminate those people — that is the answer, and the obsessive, alleged gun problem is solved.
Those criminally initiated activities will stop — guaranteed.
Those activities will disappear abruptly.
Any doubts?
Then let’s test it out, starting today, nationwide.
Any loaded gun, even with a 30 cartridge magazine, and the safety off, will cause no problem for anyone — unless some nutcake person picks it up and proceeds to do harm with it.
Same thing applies for any other inordinate object — alcohol, a shovel, a rhubarb leaf, a hatchet, a feather, a hammer, a marshmallow or even a butcher knife.
Think about it — true or false?
Somebody has to cause the action to happen.
Solving the problem of one provides poetic justice for all.
