I'm not saying whether it will or won't. What I'm saying is that the OP is misrepresenting the position of conservatives.

Stop criminals from breaking the law. That is the only solution. The liberals want to punish law abiding citizens for what criminals do.

Yes-

1) If we went back to institutionalizing the mentally ill there wouldn't be as much senseless gun violence. Recent mass shooters have all been mentally or emotionally unstable.

2) Hollywood and the media need to do its part and stop the saturation of wall-to-wall coverage of mass shootings. They are making these lunatics infamous and many of them are looking for that kind of attention. Let's not feed their egos.

Are there any solutions to completely keep car wrecks from happening? They kill more people than guns, but people are still allowed to drive. Freedom has its risk.

-Mental crazies shouldn't have access to a firearm. Sure, they might still get one, but we should try to at least make it harder


Are these reasonable?

Do conservatives have any solutions to gun violence, or do they chalk it up as "well, **** happens"

Honestly, I dont see any "solutions to gun violence" in your post either.

The only conservative solution offered is more guns and fewer restrictions.

No do a better job of enforce ing the laws you have. Another law is not going to really solve a people violence problem. One only has to look at past when one could buy surplus military firearms sold thru governamnt to see its a people problem based on what epopel have created in a society.Obviously the firearms restricvtions only effect law bidennig citizens as we see from apst laws.
