[lit-ideas] Re: Nigerian gun control as an example for us

My argument was that gun control doesn't work.  Make all the
laws you want and guns aren't going to go away.
No, it's not about the laws. Guns don't magically come from the sky like pidgeons. Gunmakers intentionally flooded the US with handguns. Gunmakers use marketing to terrify people into buying guns. 

Handguns will go away. Stop the cynical marketing. Don't allow gunmakers to 
export guns.
Just like the tobacco industry had to pay for the anti-smoking campaigns (which have been very successful), handgun makers should pay for a non-profit that is anti-handguns. Tell people that a gun in the house wil increase the danger. 

Guns will go away.
