The idea of solving violence committed with firearms by increasing the amount of firearms is as idiotic as offering a drowning man a glass of water to relieve his thirst.
The National Rifle Association’s Wayne LaPierre counts on the blind gun-aholics who already believe what he is telling them to believe what he is telling them. He is preaching to the choir.
Some things do not equate, such as more guns to reduce violence or more water to help a drowning man. There was this guy who wanted to generate his own electricity in order to be prepared during an emergency power outage, but he did not like the smell or mess created by using fuel oil. He futilely hunted high and low but could not find any.
Some things are just plain stupid and make no sense.
