On today's installment of Solving the World's Problems with Legislation © I would like to propose a radical solution for ending gun violence: outlaw murder. Some people want to wimp out and just pass laws against guns. But surely, anybody who would be deterred by gun control laws would be deterred from actually using a gun to kill somebody, wouldn't they? And make the law against murder really, really tough, punishable by, say, life in prison or even the death penalty. Plus, a law against murder has the added bonus that it would ensure that nobody will ever be killed by knives, poison, baseball bats, or anything else.
