This is why the number of laws is always increasing and never decreasin
I suspect it is also an attempt at artificially inflating the economy. have too many people on unemployment you may create a lot of laws that generate the need for extra accounting in firms and families, so they n hire more accountants and lawyers.
If too many people are unemployed more of them may want to use guns. ;-)

The other day I heard there were over 20,000 gun laws at the state level. Instead fo creating new laws, I would advise they look at the exsiting law that are not working towards making people safe rather than create new law that hurt legal gun owners.
Yes, but apparently it is easier for legislature critters to pass new laws rather than determine whether or not some law they already passed actually works. :(
The Second exists as part of our given right to
defend ourselves, and that's where it hurts me to hear folks who only beli it was there because the founding fathers liked shooting squirrels or punching holes in targets.
Just because someone points out hunting doesn't mean that is the only
reason they believe in 2A. Jumping on them for mention hunting is just as short-sighted as those who think 2A is out-dated.

To be clear, I don't jump on the hunting crowd. The few I do debate with are those who do not believe there's any other reason why someone should own firearms. I remind them the last time the US considered strict legislation toward everything except a few simple hunting rifles and shotguns, they were following the success the Germans were having in the 1930's. When registration become confiscation, a single shot goose gun is just as menacing to the eyes of an oppressor.

All of that is true. IIRC, the Brits cannot own much that isn't considered a hunting arm. When I hear someone who is not 2A going on about how we shouldn't have guns that carry X or more bullets, I think of the Brits and believe I would rather have what we have than that.
Once upon a time I might have trusted our government to leave us alone if all we had were hunting rifles but that time has passed.

In the grand scheme of things the difference between a hunting rifle
and an assault rifle is the not in the firearm itself, but the
intentions of the person aiming and pulling the trigger.

Indeed. As you may have heard, lacking a gun, someone went on a stabbing rampage in NZ. They are now apparently looking into banning the sale of assault knives.

Wait until they bring forth a ban against assault stones. Completely differe from stone stones.
I am sure criminals are scared because they have not started about banning assault sticks yet.

I don't know what it would take to eliminate the roots of violent behavior, however I feel
eventually we can teach others that blaming knives, sticks or other items for the acts committed
the person using them is ridiculous. Some of the most effective martial arts based on unarmed
fighting originated because knives and other items were banned.

There is a film in which some authoritarian regime tries to elimitate violen and mind control techniques. Most of the population dies and the rest turns who start killing everybody.
My experience is that you never convince people. The way to push change in t is to bring people into minoritary hobbies (such as target shooting or knife there is enough people in it, with stakes in it, that it becomes resistent t

Encouraging biblical morality would be a good place to start.

Sounds good, but even most of us who follow the same book do not agree what each page says.

Complete agreement is not necessary. There is a general theme of
respect, kindness, and responsibility.

But why do those have to be inspired by religion? Respect, Kindness and responsibility are all admirable traits. I don't need a fairy tale to back t up.
