It's crazy to me that anybody can wall into a store and buy tape and metal pipe and pieces of wood. These materials of war have no place on the streets!

I wonder if he used gorilla tape? That stuff should be banned. Way to powerful for civilian use. Government should be the only possessor of gorilla tape.

It's gorilla warfare if it's used by civilians.

At the very least we should ban high capacity rolls. Why does anybody need more than 10 ft of tape?

Do we say "Aww, screw it. People are still raping despite all these laws outlawing rape. Let's just get rid of those laws. They clearly don't do nuthin' to stop rapes."

Well, no. We acknowledge laws exist to punish rape but do not prevent it, and understand that people who do not forcibly use their penis are not the problem and that restricting their penile usage does nothing about the problem of rape.
There! - now you have an analogy.

Japan also has a rape rate 27 times lower than the U.S. Are Japanese men 27 times less likely to have a penis? With a rape rate 132X that of Japan, do South African men have a per capita surplus of rapey appendages?

"See how stupid you look?"

In this analogy you are wanting to make it more difficult for law abiding people to have sex, while not addressing the rapes themselves or making it harder for actual rapists.

And in fact taking guns and making them less available will increase the risk of rape because people wont be able to defend themselves as effectively.

What you could do instead is actually address the people side of it. Build up a culture of personal responsibility instead of always blaming someone or something else ,like guns. You could actually teach responsible gun use instead of only letting the only gun education be video games and movies. You should build up the parents role instead of replacing them with government employees. You could get people used to dealing with loss and rejection so they know how to handle it, instead of reacting violently with a gun, or rape. You could recognize that government one-size-fits-all, is really a one-size-fits-none, and allow decentralized groups to respond more rapidly and efficiently instead of having to wait on big brother.

And the beauty on all of those things is they would help beyond just violence. But no, instead of addressing ANY of those issues, you continue on the guns which is not the source or cause of any of the problems. Your mindset is exactly why we are seeing these issues.

Well said. This pretty much sums up the way I feel about it. The problem stems from something a lot deeper then people like to talk about it.
