Maybe, just maybe it's not the guns fault. Maybe it's the American attitude that "everyone is out to get you, nobody is your friend, money talks and people walk, everyone is a leach of the system, everyone is taking from you, everyone is a thief and looking to take something from you, your parents are boomer assholes, your grandparents are racist ass holes, dont trust anybody, rock and roll is forever, fuck the man, fuck everyone and fuck the system.
Maybe just maybe that cultural identity that every individual is the boss and everyone else is trying to take advantage of them, turns kids who are not quite well in the head, into killers.
Something could be done, and it could have nothing to do with guns. But nothing will be done, because the same people that want to do something about it would rather let american exceptionalism drive them to prove that they are the boss and that they are right and will be damned if they will change their mind.
What we need is for every single dollar that is spent on taking guns away, to be spent on care facilities for people who need care.
Then you'll see an end to these mass shootings.
BUT NOOOO it's ELONS fault for not ending world hunger all by himself.

I can follow what you’re saying. Maybe you’re right but idk. These problems are too complicated for me as an individual to even pretend I have the answers. Anyone can sit on their phone and say “this is how you do it” or “if I was in charge I’d…”
All I have is my opinion and it’s this: mass shootings keep happening. Nobody is doing anything at all to prevent them. Not even a little bit. Something has to change. Whether it’s mental health or stricter gun regulation I don’t give a shit how it happens. I just want something to be done, anything really.
All I hear is both sides whining and because of the divide in our country the 2 parties can’t even work together at this point. It’s disappointing. But I’ll also say I don’t think the answer is authoritarianism or forced religious doctrine through legislation or taking away gun rights.
