[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3547956, member: 44328"] That's the thing... people want the government to "do SOMETHING". Passing gun control laws is relatively easy. They don't work, because they don't address the real problem. But addressing the real problem is hard, you have to be able to evaluate and address mental health, and to be able at least to a degree to predict what someone will do. Liberals in particular don't see past the superficial remedy, so there is widespread support for banning guns. When you point out that 99.5% of guns are not a threat, and that making it illegal to buy a gun won't stop people who are already intent on violating laws against murder or assault, they always jump to the emotional "well we have to do SOMETHING" argument. Gun control laws are just meant to "do SOMETHING". They've never worked, and will never work because they don't address the real problem, but they look like we are "doing SOMETHING". [/QUOTE]
