You miss my point.  I am not suggesting taking away guns.  That is no longer an option.  I am saying that it is a problem without any solutions at this point.  It is well beyond resolution.  People have decided to deal with it by arming themselves.  "Dodge City" is the chosen solution.
As for valuing human life, look how fast the discourse degenerates in this forum and drifts away from the actual issue.  People have free floating anger and need a target to express it.  If they have a gun and anger it often ends badly.
