I'm not against well thought out gun control. But most proposals aren't well thought out and are knee jerk reactions.
I'm saying we, as a society, have huge issues that still need to be addressed even if guns were banned entirely. Wealth inequality, mental health issues, our entire culture around conflict resolution, racism, housing, social services, food insecurity, etc.
We have lots of underlying issues that lead people to gun violence and those issues won't magically disappear if gun violence were impossible. Gun violence is a symptom of a desperate population AND easy access to firearms. Fixing the access to guns is only a portion of the solution.
