We should also ban everything else that can be used kill people...so, we should ban knives, rope, blunt objects, sharp objects, heavy objects, water, fire, toasters (or any other electric appliance), cars, fists, elbows, feet, knees, teeth, etc, etc, etc. We can all just be stumps with no arms and legs who roll around on the ground wearing full body armor and helmets at all times.
You are right nothing short of a complete ban on guns will work. Time to amend the constitution.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
