MAJONES said:Agreed. In line with politics being the art of the possible; you are not going to get the Americans to give up their guns. My suggested alternative is money for social programs and education. Well fed, educated and adequately housed people are less prone to violence.
If the democrats were smart they would present it as an option to the republicans; i.e. Offer to drop pursuit of gun control in exchange for support of more social spending.
They have, on at least one aspect, but the Republican prefer to cater to their rich donators rather than ensure that more than 35 million American get proper health care. And that's just one little step in making many inequalities and poverty go away.
