Other countries have bad parenting and bullying, but don’t have school shootings.
I don’t want to take guns away from the worker and keep them in the hands of the government, but maybe we need to regulate some of the more.. prolific weapons.
Just looking at school shootings its a vast majority handguns. gun ownership already requires background checks and mental health checks. You cant just walk into walmart and walk out with a gun without going through the same checks as a legit gun store. What would be your option for regulating guns further than the regulations we already have? prevent parents from owning a form of self defense? Its already harder to get a handgun than a rifle.
on the larger scale of gun deaths, 2/3rds are suicides. of the 1/3rd that is left the vast majority is gang violence using illegally owned guns that regulating legal guns wont do anything about.
Even if all gun violence in america was done by legal gun owners the math shows how small a percent that is. About 1/3 of americans report owning guns. thats about 100 million americans. There is somewhere around 10k gun related homicides a year. thats around 0.0001% of legal gun owners if it was only legal gun owners, most arent.
normally id say punctuation saves lives but in this case i dont believe that is true
