HK, we have as bad a drug problem as you do, but less gun crime because less guns.

HK more Australians abuse meth than anywhere else in the world. It's insidious of course, but quite detectable in the water supply so getting easier to track it's usage.

KT, still awaiting an answer to my question: what's your solution to gun violence?

I don't know if there is a solution to gun violence specifically since there has historically not been a solution to violence generally. Gun deaths, while tragic, are just one of many causes of death. As far as gun violence being an "epidemic" then so are deaths by alcohol and tobacco, yet we (Americans) are perfectly content to put up with those.

What I am saying is I do not see guns as the cause rather, they are just another means to violence.

Phil - Thanks. Who knew about Aussies & meth? Not I. Do you also have street gangs? Run from prisons?

KT, Americans are NOT "perfectly content to put up with" deaths by alcohol and tobacco. MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) has done a great deal to reduce deaths resulting from drinking alcohol. State governments have done a great deal to limit access to tobacco (and garner monies from trials against tobacco companies). We, Americans, have cried out against alcohol, tobacco, and easy access to firearms (gee, ATF seems like it might be a reasonable combination of topics for law enforcement ... as in Bureau of ).

And yet tobacco is the number 1 cause of preventable deaths in America and car wrecks kill more children than guns. So I guess we are "winning"
3:55 pm
Penguin

Well, we are winning on tobacco in that the numbers smoking tobacco products in the United States has dropped a lot (with tobacco companies now more focused on increasing smoking rates in other countries). Similarly, auto deaths have dropped a lot over time, both in terms of miles traveled and absolute numbers. Neither is down as much as we would like. Both are being addressed as should deaths by guns. But Congress, heavily lobbied by the NRA, has limited the CDC researching gun violence. Hmm.

KT, this isn't about tobacco, or cancer, or drunk driving. We have - by far - the highest number of death and injury by firearms in the industrialized world. BY FAR. What is your solution to THAT problem?

My solution is to not contribute to the problem by not committing violence
