Okay, Lucie!
Seriously though, I used to love gun debates. Then my friends and I realized that we would have an almost identical debate after any sort of national news story that involved gun violence. Since then, I've stopped talking about guns after having the same exact argument about 20 times without anyone budging on their stance. I know that can be said with many other topics as well, but gun control seems to only have a few logical points on both sides and a lot of people need to just say "hey, I like guns" or "hey, I don't really like guns".
Something needs to be done to stop the violence, but I can't say that I know what will stop it. I believe you've mentioned it in the past, but throwing our hands in the air and giving up on even trying definitely isn't the answer.
