Ban them all!

Ban guns!  It will work as well as banning drugs did.  We'll call it a War on Guns and see the same kind of success as the War on Drugs.

It worked for alcohol prohibition so well.  Hey, the gov't can sabotage ammo so bullets explode in the chamber.  The same way gov't poisoned alcohol and killed thousand of Americans lookin' to get likkered up. 

And hey, if movies can ban the showing of people smoking and blame anti-islamic videos for murderous violence by the Religion of Peace...  Naw...  that would be a violation of Hollywood's 1st Amendment rights.  And if they show mass violence in movies, that isn't in fact influencing the watchers the way seeing insults to various religious types or seeing people enjoying the smooth smooth taste of tobacco products influences folks down those paths.  Or the way commercials influences people to purchase Audi's, Honey Nut Cheerios, Duncan Hines cake mix, or Irish Spring deodorant soap.  How can you get people to change their behavior in a 30 second TV spot?

Here's a thought... Keep closer tabs of the mentally troubled and stop forcing victims to be helpless in various places.  Let people be responsible for themselves and help out people that are incapable of being so, before you have to imprison them because they haven't figured it out, or are incapable of figuring it out.  Personal responsibility.  What a concept.  And it's cheaper, too, without violating their human rights.
