It occurred to me that this kid probably could've killed as many if not more had he sped through the quad in his car as classes were letting out.
I doubt very much Americans would tolerate DC proposing a new law in response requiring a mandatory annual practical driving exams for everyone in order to maintain their driving privileges.
Proposing to further curtail 2A rights is exactly the same thing. Although the things you specifically name above seem reasonable.
@skeeter I told my wife that if an evil person can't get guns, they'll just walk into the school, pull the fire alarm, and then wait for all the kids to line up neatly in the parking lot so they can drive a truck through them. Or they'll wait for the Pep Rally, chain the doors shut in the gym, and set the building on fire. Or they'll poison the school lunch.
There's a million ways to perpetrate evil.
You see,
@Jazzhead doesn't actually BELIEVE in the existence of good and evil. He's a moral relativist and atheist. So he doesn't understand how evil comes to be. That's why he's on this thread talking about gun control. He honestly believes that evil won't find a way if we just take away ONE tool.
Newsflash: the largest mass killing of students in U.S. history was by using incendiary devices (Bath School killings). In Europe, for the 18 months ending in Dec 2017, there were 146 deaths by mass vehicular homicide. In the U.S. for the same timeframe, there were 133 deaths my mass killings with an "assault rifle."
Step one: believe in evil.
Step two: understand that evil will find a way.
Step three: combat evil by valuing life, preaching the absolute existence of good and evil, stop denying God, and explaining the eternal consequences of evil.
Evil will always exist, and will always find a way, but the more moral a society is, the more likely the number of events will decline drastically.
