It ain't a gun problem, the firearms and murders are a symptom of a much bigger problem.

Congratulations TC, ya managed to use up nearly a whole page with your 'personal attack' and completely avoid any polite discussion of the gun violence issue.

Seems to me it is more important for you to dominate with demonizing of firearms rather than discuss the violence issue.

Point being that firearms are not the cause of violence, but an unfortunate scapegoat.
If you have doubts look at London.
