It’s really not a question of guns being “bad”, it’s a question of unnecessary deaths occurring via their use.
Cars aren’t “bad”, but their use resulted in countless unnecessary deaths.
Because of this, solutions were implemented. Side crash build standards, seatbelt laws, speed limits, median barriers, etc.
Workplace deaths were common in the past.
Now, virtually all of us have standards in place to reduce the chance of that occurring.
Solutions can and should be implemented in the same way, regarding guns.
However, the NRA fights tooth and nail to prevent this.
It doesn’t need to be this way.
All those regulations and cars are still many times more deadly than guns.

We don't need cars, horses and bicycles work just fine and are what the founding fathers intended.

Ban cars. NOW!
You seem to be arguing against yourself.

Why are you defending automobiles ITT when they are responsible for so many atrocities each year?

Shameful.

We should ban all guns and be like the people in China and have our government oppress us.

An estimated 88,000 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The first is tobacco, and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity.

Ban alcohol and also make it illegal to be an out of shape fat ass.

LET’S GOOOOOOO!

You’ll notice that not a single Con has responded to my post about using technological solutions to reduce gun-related deaths.

Two planes hit a building and killed a bunch of people and we made sure we changed everything to attempt that from happening again. We try and make cars safer every year to keep people from getting into accidents. We changed the lids on Pill bottles because some little kid got into them and OD'ed. We provide shots for people in hopes it keeps them from dying of the flu, etc, etc, etc. When something becomes a problem we try and solve for it...except with guns. We're just supposed to accept that this is the way it is and they are not part of the problem.
I agree. But it should be done rationally over time as opposed to how it is done (or not done) now

Yes, and society has not evolved at all since. Slavery was pretty big when the country was founded too, and women couldn’t vote. Should we go back to those too?

Don’t answer those, I already know what the disturbing minds of AG think about those subjects.
Slavery was one of our biggest mistakes, we should have picked our own cotton. And you think allowing women to vote has been a good thing for the country?
You would be speaking with a funny accent right now if it were not for slaves building this country. Cheap labor is needed to grow every society. Look at Ancient Egypt all the way up to China in present time. Now look at the countries that are not growing. They don't have slaves or cheap labor.
