I've seen you post ideas on how to restrict who and where guns can be used. is that what you mean about lessoning the liklihood of shootings?

Well, yeah, imagine not wanting imbeciles spewing false talking points?
But no, cold medicine harder to get than assault rifles, etc etc.

None of that addresses the person committing the crime, so you're ok with attacks happening, so long as guns aren't being used?

The only REAL way to get rid of violence and attacks is to change human nature, the next thing is to analyze the weapons used to cause said violence.
Do you have a solution to change human nature/behavior, I'd like to hear it since that is the only logical progression in your discussion of not assigning blame to inanimate objects.
So if you can't get rid of 100% of attacks, you shouldn't even try?

None of your ideas have addressed the person committing the crime, what else am I supposed to think?

Is there any impetus to tackle even more complex and longer term problems?
Seems to me that the US is far better at coming up with technological solutions to problems than it is at fixing societal issues.
I'm trying to be pragmatic.
Could the US spend 20% of its military budget of socialised mental health care and still dominate the world in firepower while providing the most comprehensive mental health system the world has ever seen? Yes it could. Will it? There's more chance of them banning all guns.
In the same thread where you mentioned ways to restrict guns. I brought up making mental health checks part of regular medical visits and better background checks. my ideas directly addressed the people involved.
You aren't being pragmatic, even if your tech ideas stopped 100% of gun crimes. if the violent people are still out there, they'll just pick a different weapon. in the end all you would've done is change what weapon is used.
