The problem I see is that our society has become a victim of everything external to the person that they are. Blaming the guns for the violence which is just a metal object is like an alcoholic blaming their addiction on alcohol.
We are naturally emphatic human beings and want to fix everyone's problems but very few people in this society has actually put in the effort to fix themselves first. Broken does not fix broken.
In my opinion the 2nd Amendment was intended for the citizens to protect themselves from the government. No exceptions.

Well, we had another one last night in Colorado Springs. An ex-boyfriend comes into a birthday party, shoots 6 before taking his own life.

These events are happening so often, they barely make the news anymore.

The one thing that no one wants to talk about is the effect of Psychotropic medications involved in these shootings.
Guns have been a part of American culture since its beginning. The more laws pass the more shootings. Maybe it's a coincidence. Consider this, people do not live in a vacuum. They live in a society and in some ways it's like one entity. The way people think and their ideas are partly defined by what they see or learn around them. That we know. I mean this is nothing new. If not there would be no defined culture. So look at what is going on. We have protests and riots and all kinds of crazy stuff. People have been indoors for over a year. We already see that it's causing a rise in depression and other things. Violence is everywhere. Turn on the news and it's non-stop. Social media is a huge presence in the lives of not just kids but people up to their forties (then tapers off). What is on there. Millions of pissed-off assholes just spouting hate. The racial divide is not better, it is worse. There is no come together. No, it's fuck you, you are wrong. 40 million people take psychiatric drugs. Read the labels and side effects on them. Some say, "May cause suicidal thoughts" Wtf?
People say things like, "Well I play games, I watch the news, I take medicine, and don't kill people. Millions of people don't kill people." Right, and there aren't millions of serial killers but they are out there. Millions of people will never do anything crazy but all this stuff will filter down to a few that will. Just take a look at all the things and you will see that there is a lot of things going on.
I would like to make a point that is known. The farther west the more individualism is considered a priority. America is very much about individualism. Easter countries are not so much. I believe this allows things like narcissism to run unchecked and it has spread like a virus online. Everyone knows everything.
I am not bashing America. All societies have times like these where things go haywire. Right now is our time. So much hate and instability. Left and right just hate each other. That is so stupid. Sorry but if you are offended then too bad. You can take different views but hating someone for that is retarded. If I go into race it will trigger everyone.
So are guns a problem. To some degree it is. I won't deny that but just a little bit of critical thinking goes a long way.
Done. Say your peace and I will close this post. We are at the point of just saying the same thing over and over.
No spell check, grammar nazis can call 1-800-eat-shit and file a complaint.
