I am not sure if it does either. I just found the focus on the mindset of these types of individuals interesting. If we can figure out what is going on in their heads, then it seems we have made the first step in solving/reversing this ongoing and disgusting trend of mass killing innocents.

What I mean is our non gun related violent crime and murder rates are higher than other countries as well. That has nothing to do with guns. We have a society that is more violent than others. Regardless of guns. That is what we need to affrrss because getting rid of guns is a pipe dream. There is no logical way that it will happen in our lifetimes. We should try to do something that can actually make a difference. And those other options have been proven to save more lives and improve far more lives than any gun control ever has.
It doesn't have to be an either or thing. We can have gun control and do some of the things you mention.
Sure we could. But we probably won't. Gun rights are expanding under our current Supreme Court, and I don't see that changing any time soon. Even states are expanding gun rights. Oregon, Washington, and California drastically increased gun control and it hasn't made a bit of a difference. In fact, violent crime and murder rates have increased in all 3 states, right along with gun crime. We could probably get conservatives to buy into restricting every criminal, but we'll never get universal background checks. That will just never happen.
The constitution limits the government, not the people. So limiting the government from restricting the people would include the individual, unless said individual were a criminal who has given up their rights. The Supreme Court already ruled on that. And they are likely to expand on it to further restrict state's rights to enforce gun control. People are arguing for restricting rights in an oppressive way that will never happen, while there are more effective and less oppressive options available.
America is a shameful, embarrassing and pathetic pile of shit. My poor kids. The scum of the earth. All around us. I can’t believe how fucked up this country has become.
