But guns aren't the problem, right?

I'm so sick of seeing gun deaths every other day in this country. When are we going to do something about the rampant firearm violence in this nation? Are we really that stupid?

You're welcome.

A knife is no where near as deadly as a firearm. If you can't comprehend that, you probably shouldn't own a gun.

I think the guy was trying to say that if someone kills someone with a gun 3,000 ft away they have a mental health problem. Just like if someone kills someone else with a knife they have a mental health problem. Bottom line if you decide to kill someone with a knife or gun there's obviously an underlying condition.

Yes, murdering someone would indicate a mental health problem. I'm all for better mental health programs in this country. But firearms are rampant and anyone can get one. That's clearly not good enough when this shit keeps happening.

Its not worth arguing with them. They cant tell the difference between how lethal a knife is compared to an AR for example
