The problem is guns. If you can buy them, they will wind up in wrong hands, and they are easily used to kill people. I know this would cause uproar from gun enthusiasts, but there is hard data from Australia 1996 gun ban now. (Link below) Gun violence and mass shootings dropped dramatically. A lot of folks in America take psychiatric pills. Needless to say, if you get one of them purchase a gun, you have a disaster on your hands. When I was a college kid, I witnessed something in a different country which had a gun ban. A crazy guy decided to kill the important professor who led a popular TV show, he boarded a train, came into lecture hall, and tried to use an axe on the professor. However, the professor was tall and strong and took his axe from him. He struck with the blunt side of the axe and wound up killing the guy. He was acquitted. Were this to happen in America? 100-200 students and the professor would be dead in a mass shooting. However, since gun ownership is part of US constitution, a gun ban is unlikely to happen any time soon. Then again, some people have a mental illness and won’t get treatment because of the stigma and restrictions it causes. So you get Jared Loughner and many others and enormous loss of life. I don’t endorse gun violence, and the loss of life from it. But, laws are laws. The kid probably knew self defense laws, so he followed them. If so, he should be acquitted, and he was. And, he is not mentally ill. rand.org Gun ban is a solution to gun violence. It probably not gonna happen, so will continue to have mass shootings, suicides, family gun violence, kid gun accidents etc. I don’t know how many actually die from it. Probably, a relatively small percentage. It can be fixed by an amendment to the constitution, but, then again, there must be a strong desire to fix it. There is not.
