” I would require background checks, psych eval, and mandatory training in the use of a firearm.”
Great then you are on the right side. The NRA though opposes your ” common sense gun control. ”
you say “And surprisingly,” why is that surprising? Isnt it far more surprisign to favor arming people with histroy of deomestic violence, psychatric disorders etc.?
Curioisty
“Arguing about gun legislation is a moot point when you consider the deaths in this country by vehicular accidents and medical malpractice far FAR exceed the number of deaths by firearms”
And those arent ignored. As yo umay know cars come with airbags, seatbelts.There are speedlimits among other regulations In the medical field we constantly have M&M’s trying to detrmine what went wrogn how to improve. We dont say “thats just the way it is. We work to try to make it safer.
And even if they were ignored. I dont understand the logic of well people die from car accidents so who cares abotu guns. A few people made this point I just dont get it.
” even if you consider suicide by firearm which is the largest chunk in the pie of gun related deaths. ”
why on Earth wouldnt those be considered?
“All you do by arguing for gun control is further harp on a highly divisive issue of culture and tradition for Americans and further divide the country. ”
If a tradition is stupid and dangerous we should get rid of it. If its not dnagerous then go for it. but arguing well thats the way it is, isnt logical.
“You can save MANY more innocent lives by enacting safety regulations for transportation and medicine”
Are you serious?
We do
can anybody just buy a car? Can anybody just practice medicine?
waht are yo utalking baout?
“. Beating the gun control issue is appealing to the average American who views mass homicide without the lens of hashgacha, ”
you have that backwards. The Torah forbids having a dangerous item in your home. I’m not saying thsi applies to guns per se. But this idea of whatever happens happens is antithical ot Torah.
“Banning guns. Won’t save people. ”
so neither will owning guns. right?
“In terms of hishtadlus, focusing on the more prolific killers such as vehicular accidents, mental health, and medical malpractice is more significant.”
We do. constantly.
