Reducing Gun Violence

Suicides are not based on guns. Those so depressed that they want to take their own life will slit wrists, self asphyxiate, jump off buildings, overdose on pills, provoke police, or skydive without a chute. Gun control laws don't help here.

Murderous violence is not grounded in guns either. It's disdain for others' lives, spurred by a lack of good values.

Not gun control. Not even people control (though that is reasonable).

To protect those in their homes from any violence, and theft, the solution is again better values, topped off by more guns to deter and judicial reverence for the "Castle Doctrine", which allows those under threat to USE those guns against invaders.

To protect those who are in public places, the best solution we have is "community vigilance".
