Don't we have an obligation as a society to look at ways to curb gun violence?

First off, the OP says he is in favor of sensible restrictions on guns, so he probably agrees with you and this is unnecessary. Second, the commentary about gun lust is well poisoning. And third, you’re not allowed to insult other posters in this forum (and that’s an insult even if you pretending to trail off and substitute a different word). Don’t do this again.
