I hope this isn't out of context, also I don't want to "own the libs" or something here, I'm actually interested.

If we actually focused on our citizens here in the USA, there wouldn't be the level of gun violence we see. Trying to take away firearms or even tell people when and were they can use them is next level stupid. It's just going to have more people in prison and create more cycles of harm.

In addition to your points, Ipretty strongly agree with the various ideas that all of the bans, gun free zones, and other firearm villification just serves to glorify them to those that would do the rest of us harm. Its a terrible feedback loop that especially seems to impact the rare but terrifying mass killings we've seen over the years.
