This makes any debate fairly pointless, however there are certain things that can be done in relation to suicides and gang shootings in poor neighbourhoods through better support and work within communities, this would help stem some of the gun violence.
In terms of massacres, there may have to be ever increasing security at hotels and venues, and better planning to ensure future music concerts etc are not directly below tall buildings allowing for the potential for such massacres to take place. Schools, Universities, Shopping Malls etc also need to have better planning and security in order to deal with all evetualities.
I think this is as much as can be realistically achieved when such staunch views are evident within a society.

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing whoever wrote article is a simpleton who does not know the laws, nor the implements they seek to ban. You open the registry, the Hughes amendment becomes null and void. Therefore people can obtain full autos and build them and register them just like a bump stock. So go ahead, and open the registry and repeal the Hughes amendment. I'll gladly pay the tax to have a new produced and registered full auto. Devoid of bump stock.
And nobody here is arguing death isn't a tragedy. Death is. Our point, at least mine, if you really believe that firearm related fatalities are as widespread and as problematic to society, obviously, nobody has taken the time nor the effort to look at all of the statistics on what is relevant just a different means of implement.
Homicide is dying at the hands of another.
Whether it is due to medical malpractice what are the figures on that what 171k last year died from misdiagnosis, negligent perscription etc...
Whether it is due to an automobile accident I've posted the numbers on that.
Plain old negligence in the work place, wet floors...
Schools I've addressed and voiced my concern repeatedly since my first lock down drill in highschool following 9/11 and terrorists plotting school shootings.
Arm the Teachers! STOP CROWDING KIDS LIKE FISH IN A BARREL! You don't cut the horns off of a gazelle to defend itself from a cheetah do you? Remove the incentive!
Colleges-allow campus carry. My sister went to a college in Springfield MA. Her and a group of her friends were stalked near the campus when they'd leave bars etc. Since pepper spray was illegal, firearms are bad mmkay... I told them, go to the advance auto parts store, buy cans of Chlorinated Brake Clean. Keep them in your purse or Hooded sweat shirts. Spray the eyes and face.
One of her friends was grabbed when she was by herself. She could have been raped. She could have been mugged. She could have been murdered. She was able to dispatch the brake clean into the would be attackers face. That Chlorinated brake clean will put your dick in the dirt quick. It will temporarily blind you, irritate your respiratory tract, and leave you with burning eyes, coughing and gagging. Works instantly opposed to pepper spray.
Malls. Get a concealed carry permit. Train. Be aware of your surroundings. If something breaks out either get to cover or engage the threat yourself, only if you have the training and the confidence to do so without harming innocent people around the area. Remember the basics of firearm safety. You are responsible for where that projectile goes. Once it leaves that barrel. There's no take backsies.
Unfortunately the feeble will be quick to judge that as someone itching to use their weapon. That simply is not the case.
Outdoor venues. Well that's a tough one to address.
Hotels and such... well if you want to subject yourself to TSA on steroids don't complain of long wait times or being inconvenienced.
We have different ideas on how to thwart threats.
Progressives think-rely on the government to protect you. In one breath police are evil racist quick to shoot ill trained and ill prepared. The next breath we want more police and more training.
Conservatives. Protect and defend yourself and yours. Thwart evil yourself. When seconds matter help can't be minutes away.
