re: Why do you think the government declares wars on various societal ills but the war on guns

By all means, call it "war on guns", and see how well that goes for you. The 2nd amendment is pretty widely supported by most Americans, but if you'd rather call it a "war on guns" that probably more accurately describes what the left is trying to do. Gun control is just a sanitized way of lefties trying to curtail the 2nd amendment.

What argument did I make in the OP? Funny that you're accusing me of being emotional when I essentially asked why you're rude.
I wasn’t rude. I offered a direct, albeit negative, commentary on your posts.

No you didn't. You lashed out because words on a screen triggered you.
I didn’t lash out. I didn’t even direct a response to you.

Going for the "I know you are but what am I?" approach, eh?
No. You accused me of calling you emotional before I called you emotional. You didn’t even wait for it to happen. But you knew it was coming because you were being emotional.

I wouldn't say it matters to me. It's just a thought I had after reading something about the War on Drugs and gun control.

What would you call the phenomenon of someone using a gun to harm another person?

Because it's more palatable for Americans who largely disagree with wide bands and confiscation.
"War on guns" - while fairly accurate for the progressive position - would make it harder for them to posture that "they're not interested in coming for your guns."
This post is humorous because if the OP answered the question she posed, you’d find out how backwards she really is (assuming she answered it honestly and didn’t run from it because she’s being embarrassed).
I really hopes she’s willing to do it.

I'll play along for a minute or 20...
Ok that sounds more palatable.
Let's cut to the chase, how are you going to reduce gun violence without taking guns? And mind you, there is a certain element that seems to use guns for gun violence against their fellow man.
Please tell us what your plan would be to reduce gun violence.
Thanks.

There's a war on poverty. That's a liberal cause, too.
Poverty isn't an enumerated right in the Constitution. Neither are drugs, or any of the other "War On ______" examples I can think of.
The right to bear arms is.
So those saying that it would be self contradictory for the government to declare war on guns have the best answer IMO.

I think thats an broad generalization. It's one political party that's declared war on the 2A. The Marxist party that hates this nation.

They could try it.
Honestly, they haven't gotten very far with any of the "War On ____" that I can think of. The poverty statistics are the same as they were pre-WOP (although that is almost certainly a function of adjusting the metrics so that it never changes) and I don't think going to war against drugs has persuaded anybody to eschew drugs.

Why don’t you answer your own question?
Why do you think it’s called that and who do you think is controlling the semantics of it.

It's inspiring to see you use the proper pronoun. You are becoming enlightened, inch by inch.

Irrelevant and also incorrect, whatever.

Yeah maybe, but those opposed to the efforts (most of the country) probably roll their eyes at the constant categorization of violence as "gun violence" because they understand the point of the modifier is to oppose guns
And those in support of the efforts probably worry it's too broad and risks targeting their bedrock communities and the causes of "gun violence" which they don't actually concern themselves with.
But in reality I think there is simply no real mandate for change or increased pressure on anything to do with gun regulation, and the left is probably pretty unexcited about trying anything fresh in that regard.

OK. Have you ever heard of gun control before?
Yes. So have the Jews in Germany.
Banning guns to eliminate gun violence is like banning auto transportation to eliminate drunk driving.
You are not doing anything related to the core problem and helping a Government ensure it faces no resistance to tyranny.
Resistance to tyranny is exactly why the 2nd Amendment exists.
