Best method of stopping gun violence

It will be nice to debate someone on the other end this topic. After reading through your argument, I was pretty surprised that you proposed such a gruesome approach. You were somewhat right at the beginning though. The US owns more than half the world"s guns, They love their guns, But when it comes to the facts, That is when you start to fade away. From a research article written by the Bureau of Justice Statistics written in 2013, Shows that since the late 90s, Gun violence has actually decreased throughout the years, For both fatal and non-fatal victims (. https://www. Bjs. Gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311. Pdf). So the fact that gun homicides are decreasing show that the society is changing. The reason there is an increase in gun VIOLENCE, Is because of an increase in suicides. Guns are proved to be the easiest, Painless way to end it, And more people are using it to their advantage. I had also wanted to point out before I get to your main point, That the main reason many people think mass shootings are increasing is because the MSM likes to televise these sort of events. These typically gets more views than their average broadcast, So from a financial standpoint, This is like a jackpot for them. Getting to spend roughly a week or two talking about one shooting is enough for to remember the last time it had happened. The MSM, What I believe, Tries to draw out this shooting for as long as it can so it seems like each shooting is happening more frequently than it actually is. Most of the MSM is left-leaning, So there is really no surprise as to why they would do this. Now, What you proposed was an attack towards the shooters family, More specifically you call that "we kill 10 family members of the culprit to set an example to all future suspects. " First of all, I believe this impedes ones rights according to the 8th Amendment. I would say that this is more unusual more than cruel, Yet it technically would count as both. For the state to go out, Capture, And lethally inject someone, All because someone in their blood relation did something bad, Is cruel. Also, Killing the family members of a shooter would not really do anything. If anything, That would inject fear into parents with mental ill, Abused, Or bullied children. Most of these shooters are not trying to kill specific people, They just want to do the most amount of damage, Kill as many people as they can. And as you said, "they usually kill themselves after the shooting. " Before the shooting, They have mentally prepared themselves with the fact they will face death. And once this point hits, They will have no regard for anyone"s life, Even their own family"s lives. You also state that the Columbine shooter, Sandy Hook shooter, And Eric Fein all got their guns from their parents. I can guarantee that all those parents got those guns legally. That they went through the screening process, Had background checks, And legally bought their guns. For them to be responsible for their own family members as well is just an extra, Unnecessary step to the process. I was also very suprised that the plan you proposed had Nazi origins. The fact that you want to follow the most gruesome fascist regime when approaching gun violence already raises red flags. The Nazis killed more people because they wanted to prevent people from leaving. The camps were very cruel and the Jews faced hard labor. This situation that you propose, Does not put the shooter at risk, But the family members. They will be way more cautious and aware, And to force the state to invoke violence to stop violence just won't work. Hate does not draw out hate.
