People drink and drive killing innocent people as well. We haven't banned all cars and alcohol. It is impossible to stop all deaths but villifying the gun as the worst part of this is disingenuous. This victim was scared for years but never left or searched for help. We need more resources to protect the victims and make help available to them. We can ban guns all we want, it wont stop abusers from being violent. More resources for victims will save more lives and prevent more abuse than just banning guns.
We should move away from cars and alcohol by building up the public transit and active transport while also informing people about the effects of drinking.
A lot of people from the bars drive home drunk because they cannot easily catch a bus or walk home with the car infrastructure we have here.
Banning guns will make murder much more difficult and force the potential perpetrators to reconsider their actions before acting out on them.
A person could just grab their legally acquired gun and shoot anyone they donβt like without a struggle.
I mean...sometimes city people need to stop staring at their crotch and being useless. Go outside, get out in the country, drive to the fucking NW Territories and think about what you just said.
angry at the idea of not drinking and catching the bus... lol damn these useless city people, subsidizing fuel for everyone
god you're a clown
