How about 1000 people who had shity parents. Guns are not the problem, bad/absent parenting and mental health are the real issue. Why does no one call for the banning or regulation of cars? They kill more children than any thing, im not saying gun crime and genuine accidents don't happen but go look on the CDC website ages 0-17 years old #1 cause vehicle related. Of you don't like guns cool, I get it. However you can not strip everyone else of thier right, further more if the reason the 2nd amendment was made #2 is ever called upon you will be glad we never laid down our guns to be confiscated.

If there is ill intent, there is a way they will resort to bombing knifes cars planes god forbid chemical attacks. You can not solve evil with laws, you have to get them the help they need and the stigma of asking for help need to be lifted too.

Lile i said, we dont get thosesorts of violence, also outlawed. We solved the problem, knives are too emotionally and physically difficult to kill with when actually faced with the opportunity and have actual nonviolent uses, and carrying a dangerious one is illegal. We get so little violent killings of any of these kinds.

The reality is some people are unstable and dangerous, usa chooses to give them easier access to guns by at the least surrounding them with other people who have them, and stocking them widely.

I cannot be clearer than i already have been, dunblaine uk, one mass shooting, guns outlawed, problem never came about again.

Same for many other western countries. Hapoened once, immeduately outlawed, and i can co firm no one has needed and few have wanted guns since.

Arguing against these statistics and historical facts is just refuting evidence, which is in essence denial. No one needs guns any more than they need bombs.

Tldr, we outlawed guns and nothing replaced the violence, just living kids.
