Ubi,
1. I do not know that a person has a much higher chance of surviving an attack with a knife, a hammer or a poison than with a gun. One of the Parkland victims is almost out of the hospital despite three bullets in the torso.
2. The NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch supported background checks that will keep guns out of the hands of nuts.
3. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If law enforcement officers are schlemiehls nothing will help.
4. I was referring to the general culture as being a reason why there are countries that have high rates of gun ownership and low crime rates.
