    without an authoritarian crackdown the likes of which our society will never survive, you can't do it.

I don't follow. Are you suggesting places like England have failed societies? The suggestion is not to encase humanity in giant pillows.

    It's the fact that it's whack-a-mole.

But it isn't whack-a-mole. That's my entire point. There is no other form of deliberate violence that equals what a gun can do with the ease a gun can do it.
