Curbing Gun Violence

Measures like taxation, media and educational outreach, standards, safety mechanisms, mandatory training, and more, could do for guns what they did for cigarettes, which used to be seen as a symbol for power and sexuality and are now perceived as signs of weakness and irrationality.
I think it would be truly amazing if in 100 years we could look back and view guns in the same light that we view cigarettes today.
