Since the old thread about guns degenerated into a complete mess and was subsequently closed down, I thought I'd begin this thread and approach the subject of guns from a different angle.
I'd like to discuss ideas for lessening, or even eliminating, gun violence in society.
This is not to be a thread to debate second amendment rights (since not everyone here lives in the U.S.), and most definitely it's not a thread to advocate extremist views or propaganda. It's an attempt to see if we, as a community, can come up with real and workable ways to deal with gun violence in our respective societies.
Also, while I'm sure there are some very strong opinions on this subject, I think it important that anyone who posts an assertion should also post material to support their position. It's not enough to say: arming security officers in school would increase student safety. It would be helpful for everyone to see any evidence or supporting documentation to validate that assertion.
So, with that being said: how would you go about tackling gun violence?
