I don't think everyone is advocating that. It is more about the reality of the world. Go to the middle east. It's not concealed carry. Every child there gets an AK47 for their 5th birthday. Go to Europe, walk around the airports. It's like a military base. Go to most of South America and Mexico..you need kevlar and a really fast car. Canada has murders, Russia has murders. Actually, everywhere there are people..there are murders.
I do believe we do NOT need assault weapons. Most of the legislation that is being discussed is reasonable in my opinion. But I certainly don't believe it will have any impact at all on violence.
People are people. This is what we are.
Watch most species of animals. They fight, kill and eat each other just to survive. Humans have only found a more efficient and less personal way to do the same thing.
