While shootings DO go down, they're just replaced by stabbings or other more violent lethal methods. Getting rid of the guns is slapping a band aid on a festering amputation; not only does it not fix the problem, but it gets worse when good people cannot defend themselves adequately.

How are you going to collect 350 millions guns?

Okay, that's a pretty good point. I would argue though that if there are less good guys with guns, it's that much harder to stop the bad guy no matter what weapon they use, especially when the police can't get there right away.

yes. they did. Every 1st world country on the planet has adopted universal healthcare from Japan to France

If you discovered this is factual, would you be willing to accept that your idea is stupid?

Its very simple to prove.

Now compare population and health between America and all your 1st world countries. And let me guess, you're also for open borders?

tell me why the richest most numerous cannot do it? because we are too big and powerful? fine, break us up into I dunno, 50 states, now can we have what any other country can do?

You never answered my question.

I did though by pointing out that we are the richest most powerful nation on the planet. We can do this. all we have to do is burn people like you alive and then do it.

Its very simple.

Still never answered it.

You can try and burn me. Of course if we meet alone, without your antif**k chums, i'd put my money on me surviving that encounter. But we'll see, regressive.

more people makes it even easier - economy of scale.

However, if we are going to follow your fallacious argument that they can do it beause their country has less people, divide us up into 50 states and do it by state.It would be stupid and pointless, but it would overcome your fear that the greatest country on the planet is incapable of doing what any other normal country has been doing for years.
