The ban of Assault Weapons is not the solution to less violence. A greater system of mental management is the solution. If you can’t change the minds of those who do violence you’ll continue to see harm done to individuals with guns, any kind of gun. You better the environment to better the people. I don’t like guns. I don’t like violence. I do like however to improve the lives of those afflicted by negative environments. You kill 6 people with an assault level weapon. You can kill 6 people with a handgun. Nobody will stop you unless you the individual change into a more respected person. And, you only change as an individual as a person when someone believes your torment. When someone believes you have the inspiration to move behavior. Many atrocities are committed with weapons. Many solutions can come from those who want to change hearts and those who want to change minds. Guns are not needed in society, yet there will always be patriots in any kind of cause. You know that. You only get people to change by a touch of empathy. Don’t fight an already driven divide. When you do, there will always be a winner. There will always be loser. The greater solution is a negotiation. The negotiation between side 1 and side 2 in the matter of guns is outside a polar conflict. Both sides win when you move the afflicted through kindness and respect. That, friends is only met through the most noblest of truths.
