>> We've had YEARS of education about the dangers of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs but people still use them.

Actually, we've only had serious education about the dangers of cigarettes and you can see below the result of it.

>> What you CAN do is NOT give them easy access to guns...

We've had easy access to guns forever. Hell, where I grew up every kid had access to guns by the time we were 12. At that age I was hunting with kids my age without any supervision at all. We didn't kill each other. We knew we could if we didn't behave rationally, though.

>> Politicians don't care about ANYTHING but their jobs.

Well, I agree with that, which is the reason I'm supporting a non-politician for the next presidential race.

I understand the knee-jerk reaction is to get rid of guns, but you cannot do it, and even if you could it isn't going to solve the problem. Education will over decades. Leadership will get that ball rolling.
