I was just comment on the fact that treating the symptoms of a problem rarely does anything to solve the problem.

And I again say there is no 'gun problem' there is a problem of 'criminals using guns', which is a totally different thing.

And just as the 'drug war' has done nothing to curb drug use/addiction, and has only served to further the encroachment of the government onto our privacy and our rights, a 'gun war' would do little or nothing to curb criminals using guns, it would simply exacerbate the erosion of one of the few rights we have left.

To continually blame the object and not the real problem is shortsighted and counter productive.
