Bowhunting on a college campus would take several weeks to get even close to what a few nights of bait and shoot will do.
Like it or not, sometimes these things are the best choice.
Want to save lives?
Let's start at the top of the list and work down - have a far greater impact in total numbers
rather than going for "if it will save one life".
Might want to work on banning baseball bats too - at least if you apply the logic of some to the statistics.
Perhaps some people changes.
No gun law changes other than doing away with gun free zones.
Things like AR bans (whatever AR's are seems to be subjective) will make no statistical difference in the future.
Simply knee jerk feel good action.
The fact is Scot, there is no functional difference between CIVILIAN so called paramilitary rifles and many semi auto hunting rifles used for years and years. The ONLY difference in in appearances. Accept a ban on a style of rifle based solely on appearance and how long will it be before they come after the same functioning hunting rifles as the banned ones?
