Prevention is fighting:
Just like alcholism is beaten by:
They are not banned almost anywhere, but making them less cool and destroying the cultural appeal made the consumption drop significantly in the west.
- Gang Culture

- Bullism
Just like alcholism is beaten by:
- Better education
- Culture war against "Cool Alcohol"

We are talking about mass shooters here. Mass shooter buy guns legally as they don't care about consequences.
In any cases :

Guns should be out of stores (unless you have a solid license) on the simple principle that there is absolutely ZERO logical reason to keep gun around beside decoration as we know that more guns don't prevent crimes and that gun's ownership increase the rate of potential victims:

Do you really want me to compare the number because of gun between the US and Europe ?
Also go tell that to families who just lost kids and parents in a shootings..

The goal is to make you understand that the statistic of shootings in the US are not normal and therefore this topic of gun control is not AT ALL overrated.
Rationality is listening to science when it says that more gun control will save more lives
Rationality is being angry at people who are defending gun easy access when shootings happens.
Rationnality is not the absence of emotion. Its using emotions toward progress.
Remember the principle of equity I was talking about with subject like systemic racism and patriarchy. It must be applied here for the US and gun controls.
The US are not just another country. Its a nation that has core problems in the understanding and the prevention of ultra destructive behavior (there are many reason for that)
Therefore "doing like other country" will NOT be enough. This country must do more, it must do better because they have more problem than the rest of us on this specific topic.

The U.S has the most guns in the world per capita, and even then gun deaths are relatively a small amount compared to stuff like car crashes.
Yes the media overrates it. I think me and Van agree that there's a problem, but is it as bad as the media paints it? No way.
This is like climate change doomerism. If you tell people the world is going to end in 2 years they'll tune you out, despite how real climate change is
What exactly makes you think I am against gun control?
Also rationality by definition is the absence of emotion lmao

Trying to ban guns saying it's the problem is taken responsibility away from the individual. A country in Europe once banned pocket knives and it did nothing to reduce stabbings cause people started using kitchen knives instead.
With guns, people will always get them illegally no matter what, so banning guns just make those who obey the law more vulnerable.
Funnily enough, most mass shootings and gun violence happens in blue states with a notable poverty rates. California had the most mass shootings in 2023. Its the blue states that mostly scream for gun banning and blame red states which is ironic. Increase those regulations.
