My personal stance against guns has nothing to do with the fact that guns clearly are not the main issue. Anyone can procure a weapon if so inclined, banning one weapon while turning a blind eye to several fundamental issues seems shortsighted.
You think banning guns would do anything to stop terrorists? I don't. If you want to spend energy in that direction feel free but I see it as misplaced outrage.

I'm not sure I'm clear on your position then. You and others always try to silence gun discussion with the same rhetoric "There's other things, dealing with the gun issue won't make the problem go away, why isn't anyone talking about X!!".
Everyone is talking about X....and Y......and Z. Guns are a big part of that discussion, though. Most talk about X Y and Z with an emphasis on Z and then you guys come along and say "We need to talk about X and Y, get Z outta here, you're dreaming if you think dealing with Z in any capacity will ever change anything!".
