Could we deal with the real problem, please?



Could we deal with the real problem, please?

Handguns kill.

So do

long guns
steak knives
axes
hammers
rocks
sharp pointy sticks
sharp pointy #2 pencils
rope
shoe laces
pocket knives
switchblades
firebombs
stilettos
swords
blackjacks
brass knuckles
nunchaks
throwing stars
explosives
saran gas
grenades
rockets
failure to vaccinate children
baseball bats
monkey wrenches
automobiles
teeth
crossbows
slingshots

And mean comments on social media.

So can we stop wasting all of our energy trying to ban just one deadly weapon (especially since prohibition never works) and deal with the real problem?  Why do some people feel the need to lash out with deadly force?  I know that solving real problems is always more difficult than picking something to blame, but how about we try?
