Great, but no one is seriously proposing something to guarantee absolute safety all the time.  The proposal is to increase safety, to decrease violence.  No one ever expects to eliminate threats, because that is impossible.  But it is possible to work towards fewer threats, or in this case, to make those threats more survivable. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

So far, you haven't offered any of the above.

Yeah, because they've, you know, been proven not to work in America.

Of course you realize the last clause of the quote I posted means that, by definition, you AREN'T doing the same thing over again.

Of course you are.  The fundamental problem is still there.  Americans won't accept it, and in fact become MORE violent.  The statistics are right there, where I posted them, a few dozen pages back.

It's the same old Utopian shit, the big fucking ideas that never work.
