Where did I say nothing can be done? All I'm saying is that your ridiculous notion that an outright ban will suddenly keep the 87 people that are killed each day by a firearm not be killed.
It is stupid and naive to think like that.
Why don't we explore the reasons why someone is shooting someone else? Maybe there is an underlying problem that exists that causes people to go murder someone else. Oh right, there have been studies done, and they all concluded that there is a direct link from poverty to crime, and from how effective your welfare system is to how people will not resort to 'crime' to get by.
You want to ban guns because you think the amount of guns is leading to all these shootings. I'm saying they are being caused by other issues, and those issues need to be looked at.
The study on gun violence will be extremely interesting. My guess is they conclude that social conditions more often than not lead to gun crime. Shocking.
