“Is this the America we live in?” said one parent. “And it was this stupid, stupid technology that is just going through picking up random words and not looking at context.”

        If you think I’m trying to say the US is better… by any measure LOL! -No. The US is a shithole.

        My point is that if you take guns out of the equation they’ll just be replaced by something else.

          My point is that your comment makes it sound like gun control would solve nothing. That patently isn’t the case.

          Yes, but one of those things is capable of a lot more damage in a much shorter amount of time.

          You’ll also have a hard time knifing people from a window with a wide vantage point.

          Knives are dangerous, and evil people will be evil. But should we just hand out rocket launchers on the side of the road because knives exist?

          It’s an absurd suggestion, obviously. So is “knives exist so guns are fine.”
