Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
@974, banning certain types of guns is understandable to a degree. I don't think assault rifles should be banned on the premise of their name having the word "assault" in them, as politicians have done before, or on the amount of gun violence they've produced (which is less than 1 percent of all gun violence cases). If your going to ban a gun, do it for actually good reasons. But the stance of 'ban all the guns' is just stupid. Make better legislation, make background checks better, and so on, sure. But don't ban all the guns. There's no need for that.
I agree that the attitude can come across as entitled, but I'm definitely not ignoring gun violence statistics. Yes, guns create gun violence. But people should still have the right to carry guns. From what my research has indicated, gun violence usually occurs because of mental instability or insanity, and that's where I support the idea of more health checks with gun acquisition. But banning entire classes of guns (e.g.: handguns) is stupid to me... especially because it seems like everyone who proliferates this "ban all the guns" mantra fails to consider the consequences of that. (Also, if memory serves, every politician that's proliferated that mantra is a hypocrite because they own a gun themselves.)
