What imaginary world do you live in where slavery is illegal?
What imaginary world do you live in where women can vote?
What imaginary world do you live in, where we go to the moon?
What imaginary world do you live in, where smoking in public places isn't allowed?

See the way it works is first you imagine it, then you decide it would be better the way you're imagining it, then you decide to do it, and then you work until you've done it.
Every fine thing humanity has ever done we've imagined into being. Every horrible thing, too.

Saying it's impossible to create a world w/o gun violence is an admission you'd prefer not to try.
This fellow in the quote is so upset at the suggestion we try, he'd like to see me in a massacre.
A world in which massacres are a viable solution to problems is his preference.

Again, the primary reason we have gun violence is that so many of us desire a country in which gun violence is a readily available solution to problems.
The solution is to imagine a country in which it is not, and then to work until that country exists.

When they say—about guns—it's impossible to stop people from doing what they want to do, they're lying.
They think a wall will stop people at a border.
They think an ID will stop people at the polls.
It's just they have the world they want already, when it comes to massacres.

My thought is that such countries become captured by the idea that some people have earned life and others have not, and that people who have not are a problem, and that violence solves problems.
In a country captured by these lies, guns won't save you.

We should reject those lies and start imagining better. What people imagine they inevitably bring into being. We imagined a country in which the ability to personally do deadly harm was a right greater than food, or medicine, or education.
We have it.
We can imagine better now.
We have it.
