I have always maintained that anyone who thinks that the answer to gun violence is yet more guns has lost his/her grip on reality.

But I've pretty much given up the fight - for reasons beyond my understanding, while Americans get all upset over a dozen or so people being shot in a mass killing while ignoring the 30,000 citizens killed by guns every year, in the long run they aren't prepared to do anything about either.

And pointing out that more Americans have died from guns right at home in the US since the Korean War than in all the wars and terrorist attacks the US has been involved all the way back to the Revolutionary War has no effect at all.

Yes they do.

Have you ever seen little boys playing cops 'n robbers?

They point their fingers at each other and holler "Bang!" and some kid falls over dead.

Then their Moms call them home for supper, and the "dead" kids get up and go home.

Now substitute real guns for fingers.

This time, the "dead" kids don't go home.

Either way, it's the same little boys playing the same game. It's the guns that make the difference.
