and the corollary, BAN ALL KNIVES, CARS, BASEBALL BATS, & on & on & on...
Ann Coulter had some interesting things to say today on the 'Virgin Killer' re 'mental health' & gun violence, particularly how libs are keen to say "we can't stigmatize the mentally ill" yet the other side of their mouth is slobbering about new laws that control normal people.
In addition, the moron Roger wrote in his '137-page rant' how he considered going to a large gathering to kill people but made other plans as he lucidly postulated that he was more likely to be killed by police due to the security presence.
IMHO, it's not a fair comparison to lump the idiot Elliot Roger into gun violence as he was almost equally deadly with both the knife and his car.
If there were no guns, crazy-person (he was a schizo that wasn't taking his meds) Elliot Roger would have just armed himself with something else.
If there were no guns, knives, swords, explosives or "purpose-built weapons" of any type in some utopia, humans would still use other objects for their mayhem. The big difference is "the equalizer".
In the case of the US, it cannot be denied that the statistics show "the equalizer" is the privately-held/owned/carried gun. Not the police, not gun bans. Wherever gun laws have resulted in increased per-capita gun possession/carrying by lawful citizens reduced violent crime rates follow.
