&gt;We're trying to solve mass shootings, maybe gun violence overall if you want to be particularly broad. People aren't proposing "ban guns" as a solution to all violence, and to suggest that's the proposal is dishonesty.

Why do you care with what tool the death is caused? If you 10 kids get stabbed to death or railed by a truck,  are you going to be super stoked that at least they weren't shot? 

All you've really accomplished is reducing liberty and all you've gained is a lot of smugness.
