[QUOTE="dgiharris, post: 73424105, member: 322579"] Your logic is fautly. I'll use a medical analogy. We often can't understand "why" we get a certain cancer, however that doesn't mean we can't identify said cancer once it forms and treat it / remove it. We often can't understand "why" someone develops diabetes but we can identify a defective pancreas and treat it. You do "not" need to understand the why of something to treat said something. I am not advocating that because we can't identify what causes the gun culture in this country that we do nothing... Back to your argument of root causes. One might argue that "violent video games" cause the mass shootings. However, these same violent video games sell in Canada, the UK, and Japan... Another argument is violent movies... but those same movies sell in other countries as well... Similarly, I'm not arguing specifically to target people hell bent on mass shootings, I'm aiming broader than that, I'm aiming to prevent anyone with any mental illness from having access to guns. Just like we can identify cancer without understanding all the whys and hows of cancer formation, we can also identify mentally ill people. That is not my argument at all... I propose we do everything in our current power to lower the probability of mass shootings. What you are proposing is to do something that is beyond our technical capability to solve a problem. It's like we have an energy problem and I'm advocating using solar energy and tidal power whereas you are advocating that we use Fusion generators which would be awesome however we currently have no idea how to build Fusion generators...
