Why is this conversation still happening? Is it because getting rid of every gun/bullet/bomb is actually easier than being a good parent or social role model?

It sucks being a sane responsible gun owner and having one of my hobbies being threatened because of a few peoples horrible actions.
A person on facebook posted this:
If roads were collapsing all across the United States, killing dozens of drivers, we would surely see that as a moment to talk about what we could do to keep roads from collapsing. If terrorists were detonating bombs in port after port, you can be sure Congress would be working to upgrade the nation’s security measures. If a plague was ripping through communities, public-health officials would be working feverishly to contain it.
They brought up an interesting point here. Because gun violence happens in a spectacular fashion it appears to be so much worse than 5-10 people dieing a day in car wrecks.
Unruly having a hobby is not collateral enough for me to be ok with mass shootings that are becoming more constant.
And also, it is extremely difficult for legal citizens in Mexico to own firearms. It looks like it is doing wonders for violence down there. 
Completely irrelevant. Thining that is the only difference between Mexico and the US that contributes to gun violence is a ridiculous simplification. Poverty, lack of law enforcement and corruption is what makes Mexico unsafe.
Do you drink alcohol, or drive a car? Because more people die from that every year than guns.
Look at a country like Switzerland which has extremely loose gun control laws, and nearly 75ish% of people conceal carry there. They have a really low gun crime rate.
Something absolutely terrible happened today. I am in no way trying to discount that, but pointing that the GUN is the problem is the same thing as saying McDonalds makes you fat.
An evil person committed an evil act. I think that there needs to be much, much stricter rules in purchasing a gun.
I live in Mississippi and I tried to purchase a gun with my KS drivers license and they wouldn't let me. The next day I got a MS DL and went back to the shop. Put my money down and in 10 mins walked out with the gun.
I don't know what the solution is this problem, but taking guns away from everyone is really not the answer.
As for the Mexico it is a little simplified but the point was made, but after working with several people that moved to the US from Mexico they wished they were able to purchase a firearm to defend their house with because as it stands they had nothing.
Also an interesting watch from 2009...
