It starts by making your country better. More like in Europe here. It’s like the US actively goes out of its way to punish people who weren’t born with a silver spoon up their ass. The way the American systems work seem to me to be actively toxic to a regular person’s mental health.
So you have a country full of a large population of people getting mentally damaged from unnecessary and avoidable stress in life… And THEN there are also loads of guns.
“But most gun deaths are from people using pistols to commit suicide” gee I wonder if that doesn’t mean something, hmmm?
You’re not wrong here, but the firearms aren’t making us violent. We need to fix our society, but instead you have one side wasting political capital on emotional legislation that won’t get passed and won’t fix anything even if it does.
European here.
Have never shot anyone. Not owning a gun means that I’ll probably continue not shooting people. It’s a very effective method.
American here, have guns, own my own range… never shot anyone and the likelihood of me shooting someone is a rounding error in the other shit that could kill me. Sounds like you have more probability of shooting someone than I do even.
