It is not on the regular population to have to figure out every single detail of how to solve a problem, especially when it is a problem we don’t seem to care about solving. Do I really need to know all the ins and outs of how guns work to say I don’t want mentally-ill teens using them to shot up schools?

Of course not. But do you want legislation to be passed so you can feel good about something being done, or do you actually want the law to make a difference? Most of what has been and is currently proposed is akin to banning dual exhaust and racing stripes to reduce deaths from car accidents.
You should understand what they are on a fundamental level. Otherwise someone will say “we need to fix the mentally unwell kids shooting up schools problem” and everyone will jump on board to make lightsabers and airsoft illegal.
I understand it perfectly fine. Guns are widely available. Without that the people who want to shot up schools are left with knives which is a much more manageable problem.
As if you give a fuck about mental health. This is just an excuse you people drag out when someone wants to know why you need a murder machine.
