Ok. Switzerland has TONS of guns. More than almost any nation per capita. No gun violence. No mass shootings. No crime.
Is that better? Lemme guess. Links to stats that show the number isn't ACTUALLY zero. Give it a rest and get the point. |

Discussing the tools used - or any "how-to" is not going to help us. That seems an odd kind of taboo to me. When we speak of crime, we talk both of motive and means. Without both, no crime. Without weapons > X, no mass killings by a single person.

[In Switzerland]... the country's education system teaches children early on to search for compromises instead of risking open conflicts...background checks are mandated, which is not always the case in the U.S. Heavy machine guns and military weapons such as grenade launchers are banned in Switzerland; under some circumstances they can be purchased in the U.S. Public-carrying permits are issued rarely. Guns can be transported, but must remain unloaded at all times when they’re not in use. I have no problem with all of that in Switzerland: education, background checks,no weapons > X, very limited number of carry permits, unloaded when not in use, registration. Sign me up. What do you think the NRA would say?

The number of IEDs set off successfully in the US are way fewer than the number of mass shootings. The folks engaged in asymmetric warfare have generally been tracked for a long time. There, it is a matter of the intelligence services doing the deterrence. That side is covered pretty much as best as possible. What is not covered are all the other people with easy access to deadly firearms.

Really? http://www.big6llp.com/active-shooter-security
Quote: Even if a law was passed and the teacher was skilled marksman, would they have the tactical skills to neutralize a threat while still protecting their students? The teacher’s first priority is the safety of the children, not hunting down an active shooter.
