I think that's more than a trifle optimistic. I'd much prefer a lot more training and education before going that far.

Instead of "When do we, as responsible citizens, start taking steps to stopping gun violence?"
How about "When do we, as humans, eliminate violence?"
There's a show about it.
That's the ONLY way.

Q: >When do we, as responsible citizens, start taking steps to stopping gun violence?<
A: When more than 50% of us have concealed carry licenses, we'll have taken a huge collective step.. "Gun free zone" is essentially an advertisement begging those with evil intent to express it there. Expanding concealed carry and eliminating gun free zones will go a long way toward stopping gun violence.

When we start enforcing gun crime laws that we already have, even if that means more whites or blacks or Asians or whatever end up in jail for committing a crime with a gun. Start with a mandatory 10-year federal no-probation sentence for any felon on probation caught with a gun and work your way from there.

Once again Liberal lawmakers are caught saying they want to confiscate guns.
.
>>>A hot mic at a May 9 New Jersey Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee hearing caught state senators mocking gun owners after the meeting ended.
The Senators had just finished discussing new gun control legislation when the hearing adjourned. Then a conversation that "appears to be among Sens. Loretta Weinberg (D37), Sandra Cunningham (D31), Linda Greenstein (D14)," and an unidentified member of a senatorial staff, took place. It began by mocking gun owners for fearing confiscation and ends by talking of how gun owners say they want to keep guns out of the hands of "the bad guys," yet they won't support any new restrictions to do it.
The first line of the conservation was, "We needed a bill that was going to confiscate."<<<
I wonder when enough people are going to actually believe what these people say - especially when they don't think anyone can hear them......

Back to playing with 'gun violence'.
.
>>>We need to understand that the motivation behind the gun grabbing campaign has always been more than just naked political calculation. Certainly, liberals think it will help motivate their base and maybe shore up the squishy suburban mom demographic for 2014, but this is really a campaign fueled by emotion.
That emotion is hate.
This isn’t about dead children. If saving kids was their real motivation, liberals would have long ago allowed the police to end the daily slaughter in Democrat-owned war zones like Chicago, Detroit and Washington, D.C. No, this campaign is driven by elitist hatred for regular Americans who refuse to bend to their will, who defiantly live life on their own terms, and who stubbornly resist accepting the moral supremacy of the urban liberals who would rule them.
They want to show us who is boss, to put us in our place, to take away the proud symbols of – and the tools that protect – our independence for one reason and one reason only. They want to show that they can. They want to demonstrate that what rights we have come not from our maker but from them, to be granted or withdrawn as they please.<<<
The topic is still about reducing the gun violence - maybe we should expand it to all violence against all people but before someone beats me up for going too far afield.

Except for a few aberrations, like Gosnell, no "kids" are murdered by abortion, only fetuses.
Your attitude on abortion is no more "logical" than the gun banners attitude on guns.

No RJ what I am saying is that killing children of any age is wrong and if one were logical they would look at reducing the largest cause of violent death in children first - abortion. Death by guns come in so far behind this major cause of child death that is doesn't even register on the logical persons radar.
Unless the person refuses to believe that children of all ages are important. But we have lots of that don't we - people refusing to think that children may wish to live rather than be flushed down the drain.

Straw man. When you're talking about "the single largest source/cause of the death of innocent kids in America today", you're not talking about "a just born child or one that is half born". You're trying to make a first- or second-trimester fetus into a person, and promoting a rarity as the norm.

I highly doubt one person with a gun can kill 4 attacking pit bulls. A person would be lucky to get off one shot, possibly lucky to even get a gun out of a holster, before running dogs were upon him/her. Pit bulls can charge at you up to 40 mph. Unless a shot KILLS immediately, a charging dog is still coming at you.
Many times people with guns are taken down by ONE dog, part of the reason security, police, and military use dogs.

When you can define the real difference between a child born three weeks premature and a child aborted two weeks before the due date come talk to me. Abortion of a child is not choice unless killing other children at other ages is also a choice and accepted.
But some people are already saying that "4th trimester" abortions are just another choice.

"In the one area that kills the most kids it is not an accident - it is done on purpose and prettified up by calling it "choice"."
Except, of course, that fetuses are not "kids".

>>>A pack of up to four pit bull terriers has been blamed for the death of a jogger in rural Los Angeles, with officials warning on Thursday that the dogs remained on the loose.

The woman died while she was in an ambulance on the way to a hospital, said Evelina Villa, county animal control spokeswoman.
The coroner's office was investigating to determine the cause of death.
Sheriff's officials were alerting people in the area to watch for four tan-coloured dogs and were were using a helicopter to search for them. It was unclear whether the dogs had collars or owners.
"In these areas you might have a situation where people dump animals out in rural areas," said John Mlynar, a spokesman for the nearby city of Palmdale. He haad never heard of an attack like Thursday's, Mlynar said.
Residents near the site of the attack said stray dogs were constantly roaming the area and had attacked people before. "It's really scary," Diane Huffman, of Littlerock, told KABC-TV. "I don't know what to think. I really think I'm going to be getting a gun to protect myself."<<<

Does it matter if its gun violence or forceps/scissors violence. The result is dead people. Snipping the necks of newly born children is not supposed to be objected to because its the "choice" of the mother after all. Well the Boston bombers made a choice and the mentally unstable kid who shot up the school made a choice and the people who knowingly allow themselves to drive distracted make choices.
All of these choices may result in death of innocents. The big difference is one method of "choice" involves guns. Those evil things that liberals just love to hate.
I find it hypocritical to continuously try to restrict the freedoms we have in just one area because people say they are just trying to save innocent lives. Yet they just never seem to look at any other method where careless use of objects results in innocent deaths. In the one area that kills the most kids it is not an accident - it is done on purpose and prettified up by calling it "choice".
When the people who are squealing about innocent deaths start looking at the single largest source/cause of the death of innocent kids in America today maybe - just maybe I will listen to anything else they say.
Until then what they are saying is just a transparent political ploy to deprive Americans of Rights enumerated in our founding documents. Now why they continually demand to deprive their fellow citizens of the free exercise of just the rights they don't like and ignore the massive bloodletting they encourage on the other hand I don't know. It is illogical.

Twenty 6-year-olds are much cuter than a few million slimy, bloody babies when you show their pictures on the evening news broadcasts. You get more mileage out of the 20, especially when you have an agenda behind them and you really don't have any problem with discarding a few million fetuses.

“It is outrageous that anyone, even a known terrorist, can walk into a store in America and buy explosives without any questions asked,” said Senator Lautenberg. “If we are serious about public safety, we must put these common-sense safeguards in place. While the police have not revealed what specific explosive materials were used in Boston, what we do know is that explosive powder is too easy to anonymously purchase across the country.”
Current Law Allows "Black Powder" and Other Explosives To Be Purchased Without Any Checks
You wonder why people have a low approval rating of Congress? Here's a good reason. So does Sen. Lautenberg want to introduce legislation to institute background checks for those individuals purchasing gasoline? Gasoline can easily be purchased anonymously and made into a crude bomb.

Well Plastic - just look at all the people that have been killed in the name of religion in the last couple thousand years. Its scary I tell ya.
France (Catholics) and England (Protestant) fought something called the hundred years war over which form of Christianity was supposed to be the best. Then we have the Crusades and the Islamist spread all over the place where they tried to take Europe. I tell ya those religionists need to all be classed as not sane enough to be allowed to practice their strange rituals that end up with starting wars.
Somebody tell Marty we are gonna change the Constitution so he wont be able to admit he is one of them card carrying religious nuts. All of them kind are gonna be locked up for their own protection. For sure none of them can be allowed to have a job where they might press their hate thinking on young impressionable minds.

When are we going to start eliminating religious violence? If Marty is feeling good about advocating the removal of the 2nd amendment to get rid of the guns then we need to get rid of that pesky 1st amendment. We need to outlaw any religion that calls for violence. We need a blue ribbon committee to examine the religious texts and teachings of every single one of them things and if anywhere it advocates or tolerates violence then they need to be outlawed.

Working in an ER for many years gave me the chance to see, that just about any thing is used to kill people.
One method was called rugging...roll the person in a rug and beat them with a baseball bat. Method of choice.
When do we, as responsible citizens, start taking steps to end rugging and baseball bat violence?
