Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it a ton. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

We have to ban accounts that post like this. I'm not going to ban you right now because it looks like we haven't asked you before, and because I noticed a few good comments too. But if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN as intended, we'd appreciate it.

Assuming you're making light of "common sense gun control," comparing the two is silly because it's much easier to cause fatal harm to someone with a gun than a knife, but also it is possible to both need weapon control and social programs like mental health care and help for the homeless at the same time. Not every issue is both, but we still need both.
