because strict gun control always prevents violent crime..

As has been said for so long...it's not a gun problem...it's a people problem.
When guns start killing people...I'm all for getting rid of guns...as with anything that indiscriminately kills people.

Let's instead just look at ourselves. In the past 30 years gun sales have gun through the roof, while violent crime went from 747/100k in 1993 to 389/100k in 2017. There's an inverse relationship there if any relationship exists at all.

Also the constant talk of banning rifles that relate to a ridiculously low number of crime, is illogical.

Almost every goddamn school shooting, save a couple that happen to make headlines, had a pistol present as well. That means banning rifles would not in any way stop a school shooting. They would just use something else.

If politicians were serious about stopping gun deaths they wouldn't be talking about banning a weapon that is involved in so few. They would be talking about banning pistols. They aren't because that won't get them votes.

They could attack income equality. The American worker hasn't had ano actually raise in 30 years. That might actually cause violent crime to go down. That doesn't get them votes either.

Making good men helpless will never make bad men harmless.

Grean - Amen
No good evidence that any of the DPST gun banning proposals will have any effect on the mass shootings. They just want to ban AR-15's. Won't change anything.
Good luck with prying the millions of AR-15's out of the hands of middle Americans.

Let NY and Kalifornia go to the Mexicans.
