It feels simple, right? We know that the accessibility and ease of use of a gun makes both suicide and mass killings far easier for people. For all the talk of, "you can do the same damage with a knife, bomb, car, etc." it ignores the fundamental issue. People don't. Why? Because guns are simple. They put evil intentions into motion at a breakneck speed that helps push reality out of the picture. Just pull the trigger. It's not bizarre that the vast majority of mass shootings are carried out by white men. So much of the gun culture indoctrination is aimed at them. They have turned it into some sort of part of the 'fabric of American culture". They have made it a sign of being a "true American", masculinity and white pride.But first, restrict access to guns.
If the concern was truly about mental health and helping people, guns wouldn't matter. Except they somehow matter more then anything else.
