I can go along with the idea that we should try to eliminate the factors which result in the taking of innocent human life. But let’s examine ALL of these causes throughout history, and not just the current vogue. Based upon the historical data, one might suggest banning Marxist/atheistic totalitarian governments.
Mao 75 million;
Stalin 50 million;
Hitler 25 million;
and then we might give also ran’s to Pol Pot, Castro, etc.
150+ million certainly dwarfs individual acts of random violence by 6 or 7 orders of magnitude. I can hardly wait until the press starts vigorously supporting my idea.
Second place award might go to Islam, which has waged unrelenting jihad upon the civilized world for 1400 years.
And sadly will for another 1,400 years.

Excellent comeback
