At the risk of sounding pedantic, banning guns will not stop people from dying. Everyone dies.
Banning guns would allow more people to live for longer, and would cut down the need for so many prisons.
I wonder how much 'money/taxes' those killed by guns could have contributed to the American economy had they lived. Do you think it would be more or less than the amount of 'money/taxes' raised through the sale of guns. I'm pretty sure that it would be considerably more. So it makes economic sense to bring in gun control as well.
I'm not going to comment on this any more - you all know my thoughts on the subject and you can either agree or disagree as you see fit.
I hope that something changes before the next massacre, but I don't hold out much hope.
