It would all make sense...not be right, but make sense...if they attacked everything that causes deaths in the same fashion. We haven’t outlawed cell phones to stop texting accidents, we haven’t outlawed alcohol to stop drunk driving, we haven’t stopped pharma from producing drugs that are misused...the list will go on. The difference is the people could never use any of those to one day overthrow those in power for one, and for two - we don’t make a big deal about the numbers that die daily from the others. The knee jerk reaction to the senseless violence and the constant blame of the firearm are a side effect of the style of reporting. People might just be a little more fed up with the rest of the major killers in this world if you shoved it in their face everyday. We like the things we do and nobody wants to give up the things they use responsibly due to the select few who use them improperly. I believe firearms would be in the same boat if it wasn’t constantly crammed down our throats that they are evil. Rant over.
