@captainprivate3768 how do you fix people? For all time, people that have wanted to kill people, have indeed killed people. Cane killed Abel with a stone. Tarquin the Proud was killed with a knife, as was Julius Caesar. Countless people were killed with swords, spears, polearms, bows, crossbows, torture devices, flintlock weapons, lever action weapons, bolt action weapons, semi-automatic weapons, fully automatic weapons, tanks, bombs, poison gas, automobiles, and even bare hands. I'm sure you heard several years back about the terrorist attack using a truck in Europe; there was a person who also murdered several children in a school with a hammer in Japan. You take away one tool, they find another. If people want to kill, they will kill. So, how do you fix people? Do you have a solution for that?

@MrDrProfessorSir962 I didn't think that "critical thinking" meant repeating the popular opinion, but I suppose you know more about it than I do. It's easy for an adult to kill a room full of kids if they really want to, no matter what tool, especially when the police doesn't do their job. I'll point again to the case in Japan where a hammer was used for the same purpose. People in this comment section and on social media are looking to fix the proximate cause, not the ultimate cause. Banning ARs is just a bandaid over the real problem, and not to mention that it's a slippery slope. What next, do we ban hammers too? Knives? Trucks? Rocks? Bare hands? Plus, are you so easily convinced to hand over your only defense against the police state? You offer no solution, just a level of comfort, until the next event occurs, then you'll cry to ban whatever tool is used then too. It's a pity that the masses can't fathom that violence is in human nature...
