Should we provide the homeless with shotguns?

[Twilight Hue]

That's irrelevant. This is about more death or less death.



Then perhaps they should just simply make what is called murder today legal tomorrow, since as you say, death is an ineluctable fact of life and can't be eradicated.



Irrelevant.

How many people are killed by cancer? Should that be part of this debate, too?



No, neither you nor I need them to defend freedom. That's the job of law enforcement and military, They can be armed.



Death is the central issue regarding guns. It cannot be separated from this issue.

Would you ask the kids in Parkland, Florida to forget about shooting deaths? They never will.



You've got a nation of tightly wound people standing at that edge ready to grab a gun and go off of it. If you think you can identify these people and keep them away from guns without tightening existing gun laws, go for it.

If not, make the guns less accessible.



And they're as armed as they care to be. Does that sound like a good idea to you?



When the number is at a minimum, and no additional interventions can lower it further - as with cars.

You just don't get it. Oh well.

Of course we do. The mentally ill homeless are victims of violence are a even higher rate than other homeless. They need a way to defend themselves. And what better way to defend yourself than a gun?

surely you jest (I hope).
