1. Gun as solution to gun. Sounds about right.

2. You'd rather he let himself be beaten to death. Despicable.

3. This one is choice because the gun not only emboldens the crime but also is used to bludgeon.

Absence of that particular gun means absence of that particular crime.

4. So armed robbery and assault are impossible without a firearm. LOL.

5. If you limited your posts to the stories where a gun hasn't started the mess...

I wouldn't have to repeat myself so often.

6. What would be the fun in that?

7. The fun would be forcing me to say OK Exception Which Proves The Rule.

Most of the time I only need to say thanks for proving my point.

8. Your solution would lead to countless unnecessary deaths.

11. Not according to most of the tales you find suitable to post.

Take away the gun as primary implement of force and the needless deaths drop off dramatically.

12. No the criminals will still have weapons nothing will stop that.

They will always prey on the weak, your little fantasy can't change that fact. The weak need a means to protect themselves from stronger predators. The founders of our country knew that and recognized that right.

9. Please explain

how the weapon acts on the individual holding it.

10. Well you have to admit guns perform better against guns than say, oh a cease and desist order...

Or most anything else commonly available to the average citizen.

13. Very true. Shares won't admit it though.
