Reply #7: Typical Gun Activist Talking Point, Used Over And Over

[Paladin]

Tell us all where the billions of dollars needed to fix those "root causes" are going to come from. While you're at it, tell us where the political willpower to raise and expend those billions of dollars will be secured.

The fact is, having an almost unlimited number and variety of firearms intermingled with those "root causes" is the equivalent of dumping gasoline on a forest fire.

And the notion that law enforcement shouldn't have more-than-adequate firepower to deal with the guns out on the street is beneath contempt, no matter what sort of constitutional sloganeering you try to dress it up with. Not enough cops dying these days to suit you?
