    That’s the problem. These guys get out of the military and there are no enemies, so they have to invent them. Your solution just produces more people looking for enemies to stab.

      If there are already a lot of such guys on the other side, and these ones will be on your side, then it’s still right.

        “Side”

        This isn’t a sports game, it’s real life.

        When I had a yellow jacket nest in my garage, the solution wasn’t “more yellow jackets,” it was to get rid of the nest. When your house is on fire, the fire department doesn’t show up with flame throwers to make more fire. When you accidentally poop your pants, the solution isn’t to poop some more.

        Yet somehow when the problem is gun violence, people think the solution is somehow more guns and more violence.

          One can find such analogies and one can find analogies with the opposite result.

          That’d be because analogies don’t prove anything.
