    then can you acknowledge that banning guns is not the only issue? Maybe culture has something to do with it?

      Can you acknowledge that some issues require addressing multiple factors? Or can your brain not handle that level of complex thought?

        I literally said “banning guns is not the only issue.”

          The “issue” is not banning guns.

          The issue is people dying en masse repeatedly from guns.

          Get that straight. Banning guns is a partial solution that helps to address the issue in literally every single western country.

            Get what straight? Your views even though many other people in this comment chain say banning guns is the solution?

            Banning guns is a partial solution that helps to address the issue in literally every single western country.

            Really? Another person said it’s gun control, not banning.

              Answer the question: multiple factors contribute to a problem, do you a) address none of them or b) address all of them?

                B.

                Some people in this thread think banning guns will solve the problem. They believe the only reason the US firearm death rate is so high is because guns are legal.

                  And they are right.

                  The widespread availability of guns is one of the factors contributing to the rate and severity of gun crime, and needs to be addressed, in addition to poverty and mental health.

                  It’s really not complicated.

                    Those people are power seeking bullies and banning guns absolutely won’t stop them from killing others. They’ll just smuggle them in, or use or build other weapons to accomplish the same goal.

                    You care way more about banning guns than solving the problem and it is obvious to anyone with any insight.
