"Dude, you don't even have an AR-10!"
"I know... I've got a bad gun problem."
"Get help."

A problem characterized by the misuse of guns by nefarious individuals. Certain politicians who wish to appear 'tough on crime' have attempted to address this problem by ineffective and unconstitutional legislation that infringes on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
To really address the problem of gun violence, we must look at the root causes: criminal gangs; abuse of drugs; the 'war on drugs' (which is as ineffective as the prohibition of alcohol was in the 1920s and in fact is largely responsible for many criminal gangs); inadequate programs for integrating released prisoners back into society (in the absence of which, said prisoners instead go back to selling drugs as the only means of making a living); poor education (esp. lack of discipline in inner-city schools); decay of the nuclear family; et cetera.

Brad: We need to ban handguns to address the gun problem!
Joe: No, banning handguns would only disarm law-abiding individuals, and thereby wrongly deprive them of their inherent, inalienable right to defend life and liberty. And it's unconstitutional, to boot.
Brad: But how else can we stop urban violence?
Joe: Trying to stop urban gun violence by banning guns is like trying to treat a poisonous snake bite by applying a bandage. We must address the root cause, not the surface symptoms.

That ain't the problem shit-brain.
A shit-filled skeleton in a meat-suit "We have a gun problem!"
Hym "No... We don't. We have a neurotic piss-pants who doesn't actually care problem. Drugs are banned. People still get drugs. YOU want the drugs NOT to be banned. You already DID the thing you WANT to do to would be shooters to the Maine Man. Didn't work. It's never going to work. Because it isn't a gun problem."
A shit-filled skeleton in a meat-suit "But the other countries though!"
Hym "Yeah yeah, the other countries don't have guns do you know what ELSE the other countries don't have? YOU, ya bitch. YOU. You've been making the same argument for 50 years apparently and you expect something to change. And it's not going to. And you don't care. Because you can sit and regurgitate 50 year old rhetoric into a camera for free money. You don't have a gun problem. You have a people wanting to kill you and your kids problem. Why do they want to do that? Did you ask? How specific were they? If they were specific I bet you a million dollars you would fabricate A DIFFERENT REASON from the one they gave you and try to fix your own made-up imaginary problem instead! I bet you would shit-skull! Go! Go look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you wouldn't."
