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.
