Gun violence isn't a problem. Gun violence is what brought us out of the dark ages. When you could equip a man with an musket and have him kill an armored knight, you took power away from knuckle-dragging professional warriors and gave it to industrious modern citizens.

The problem is criminals with guns. And the deeper problem is that criminals don't really care if it's a crime to own a gun. The solution is for good people to own shotguns. Like Zkribbler noted, the shotgun is more likely to be effective than the handgun. The spread out shot makes it easier to hit a target, and less likely to over-penetrate and harm innocent people.

Shotguns are awesome. Feel free to put that on my tombstone.
