What does gun violence really COST

Shout at the rain, Nitro. You'll never solve this problem through gun control or confiscation because there are just too many guns on the street -both legal and illegal. And you have no real world solution to that. So unless you start thinking about other causes of the violence, you'll be cutting and pasting from now until the end of time, and nothing will change except the support for guns will get stronger.
We'll see.
The faces of the children killed at Sandy Hook.
Don't ever forget them.
Don't ever forget them.
We shouldn't. But I doubt you (or Nitro) could recognize a single child killed in Chicago even last week.

Good idea; except wolves, dogs + trouble makers can run in packs.Beside that, that ''infringes'' which is exactly what the 2nd amendment aims to prevent.Tek can malfunction- the more its complex , the more it goofs, generaly speaking.Thanks

It costs the lives of millions of people who had their guns taken away.
Great points+ the gun hating mayor of chicago has not been responsible for millions of deaths-well not now anyway.However mayor Emmanuel signed a million dollar check to NRA, losing lawsuit.So we have to give the mayor credit for accidently helping NRA!!
Wake up call yet for this person? No? Ok, let's continue.

There are laws that prevent adults from letting children have access to firearms - much like what occurred here.
Are you saying that laws don't work? Or that regardless of what laws are in place, people will still break them and do stupid, idiotic things?
