That the debate is pointless. That if we take away some toys, people will just use others, so what is the point of defending firearms ownership. On the other hand - even with strict gun control gun violence probably won't be reduced ... you need good jobs to make the young males not taking stupid risks and better mental health care for the psychos.

And the feds actually have lots of tools with which to reduce gun ownership legally ... seems the whole issue is alive mostly because it channels away energy from the real issues.
