re: Fox Sports Marcellus Wiley says it’s not guns, it’s about people

Let’s address the root causes of murder and stop going the anti-gun route as the only option. And while we’re at it address the reason that the large majority of killings are done in inner cities where guns are obtained no matter the gun laws. And not by AR or AK, but by handguns.

We have users here who want me to include gang shootings within the figures I cite and others who don't.

I've been citing US mass shootings that are non-gang-related.

I don't see how a waiting period is unconstitutional. Raising the age probably veers the line but I would arguably it's not that unreasonable.

We aren’t just trying to hold guns for evil purposes. We’re exercising a right - a right to self-defense #1 - explicitly granted in a Constitution that has resulted in a long-standing nation of strength and freedom - the strongest and freeest the world has ever known. Eroding that foundation on any level needs to be avoided.

I'm not advocating for banning guns. While I don't own guns, I have gone to a gun range a few times with friends so I'm not trying to deny anyone their right.

I just think there are some reasonable things that could reduce the number of mass shootings.
