Not every issue is black and white. "Fix A and B will stop." That's not how the world works.

I'm not really a gun person myself ( some people are seriously obsessed with guns to the point it's bordering on mental illness), but I'm not against them either. Everyone has the right the protect themselves. I'm all for making the process of purchasing a gun more narrow ( mental evaluations,ect), but what I said is still a fact. People who want to get a gun badly enough will find the means to do so. It would be nice to live in a world where we didn't need guns, but that's not the reality. There isn't a button we can press that creates instant world peace and makes every gun in the world disappear. Guns will always be around, the problem lies within the reasons why people want to do these things to others.
