Maybe instead of trying to mitigate the symptom as the main goal (i.e. having people commit mass murder with other weapons instead of guns), we should try to understand why people are driven to commit such heinous acts in the first place, and try to approach the situation from that angle? To try to stop the attempt from even happening.

I want both.  I want a massive increase in mental health services and access to it.  Too many of these shooters have had mental health issues that went untreated.  Again, we don't give a damn about people enough to make that happen.


By the way, stocks at gun manufacturers and related fields just went up.  Why?  Because there is always a massive spike in guns sales after every mass shooting.  That should disgust everyone one of you.  Profit and guns are taking advantage of death and should tell you everyhing you need to know about our modern society. 

Yeah, obviously in this economy people are going to do vile things to make a profit. But without guns, how are we even going to be able to defend ourself from an opponent with tanks, all kinds of weaponry, helicopters, etc?
