Taking Them Away

Take away the guns. It's the Left's response to sshootings. It's also the most infantile response one can have.

When a child misbehaves with an object, a common solution is to take away the object so the child cannot repeat said action. Now, wily 3 year olds notwithstanding, the children typically do not have the wherewithal to obtain that object, if it's properly put away. The child cannot manufacture a new one. The child cannot meet up with an illicit dealer and obtain the object on the black market.

Hopefully, by the time the child is old enough to have the means and ability to do these things, the parents have taught the child right from wrong. But, that young person, if they are inclined to obtain something they don't have, will usually be able to - whether they mean to do right or wrong with the object.

Taking things away works for 3 year olds, but not for 33 year olds. That's why gun control never works.
