Legislation will never enable control of human behavior realtrive tor control of human use of tools, such as bay an effort to ban guns. First of all, no one has been able to successfully define a particular tool: the "assault weapon." Without proper definition, how do we legislate its control. Nope.


And then, there is the issue of trying to "control" by the tool's complete ban. That will not solve the problem, either, because if we ban assault weapons, we'll just use a different tool to eliminate our perceived problems with other people. A spoon can kill. Are we going to ban spoons? That's the paradigm, boys and girls. Useless.


And then, there's the effort to control human behavior by legislation. That has been tried unsuccessfully ever since the ancient Greeks decided to legislate all crime as punishable by death. Nope, that was just a civilization-killer. Not the right answer.


So, what is the3 answer, you who seek to ban guns altogether? Back to the spoon? Absurd.

Note: the above topic sgould have indicated that the control of human behavior will never be enabled in a democracy or a republic, since we in the U.S. are a blend of the two forms of government. In a socialist or comminost, or a chaotic stater, sure, control can be imposed, but never in a free society.
