That s true as far as it goes. But the inarguable truth is that guns make it easier to kill people and that some guns make it particularly easy to kill large numbers of people at a time. It s also inarguable that these mass murders that now occur with the cyclic regularity of Medieval plagues nearly all involve the same sorts of firearms military style assault rifles and handguns with high capacity detachable magazines, usually the ubiquitous Glock and some variation of the AR 15, which the killer Moncler Down Men Jacket fashion grey in Connecticut used. There s little point to slipping into another endless and fruitless debate over the existential nature of evil, the criminal culpability of the mentally ill or the pervasive failings of the mental health system, which the National Rifle Association and its congressional allies would like to see or as we learned Friday, a proposal to post armed guards in every American school. We might, however, stipulate for the sake of argument that people like the wretched Adam Lanza always will be with us and that no form of legal screening will prevent at least some of their ilk from obtaining moncler jackets sale online weapons in a society where they re as generally legal as they are in ours. Increasingly, they re of the sort most attractive to the mass murderers. Sales of hunting rifles and shotguns actually have been falling for decades. Purchases of semi automatic pistols and military style assault rifles meanwhile have skyrocketed. The FBI reports that so far this year, there have been 2 million recorded gun purchases, a record. It s a market our gun manufacturers are eager to serve: Last year, they made 2.5 million pistols and 2.3 million rifles, a 77 percent jump over a decade ago. Variations of the AR 15 now are the Moncler Womenspring Autumn white jacket most popular rifles sold in America. An estimated 3.5 million of them now are in circulation here. The two biggest one day gun sales in history were Black Friday of this year and the day after the Connecticut massacre, according to the FBI. Supreme Court has affirmed that the Second Amendment confers rights on individuals and not just militia, is there anything to be done to de escalate the arms race that s killing thousands of us each year? The Center for Disease Control, in fact, now estimates that within two years, annual deaths by gun will climb grow well past 30,000, exceeding even traffic fatalities. A total ban on assault style weapons, semi automatic handguns and high volume detachable magazines, along with confiscation of all those now in private hands would do the trick. But that isn t going to happen; our politics, public attitudes and current constitutional jurisprudence preclude it. The major steps that Biden s task force is likely to recommend reinstating the federal bans on assault style weapons and high capacity detachable magazines that were allowed to expire in 2004 would help. We need to Moncler down Jackets Men no hat coffee be realistic, though: those measures, which won t be easy to achieve, simply will keep things from getting worse. They won t make any of us or any of our children any safer. Tim Rutten is a columnist for the Los Angeles News Group
