For those who argue that school shootings are a gun problem, it’s worth considering that in the aftermath of World War I, countless individuals had access to guns without experiencing these widespread, senseless acts of violence for no reason. Therefore, it’s clear that your argument has inherent shortcomings. Moreover, I believe altering gun laws could potentially lead to the establishment of a black market, encouraging individuals to seek illegal firearms, and resulting in an increase in overall violence.

    If it’s a mental health problem surely you support making sure those people can’t access guns right? Or is it the same stupid disingenuois argument you people have been regurgitating for decades without thought at this point?

      Like I said, after World War One, a lot of people had guns. However, random acts of violence resulting in deaths didn’t occur back then. While restricting access to firearms might prevent such incidents, it is not solely a gun issue. Instead, focusing on improving individuals’ mental health can be a more effective solution. You can’t solely blame guns for something like this since they are merely physical objects.

          Okay, instead of labeling me as an idiot, please present a reasonable argument first.

            My argument is crazy unstable people are crazy and unstable and shouldn’t have access to firearms, yours is a lie about guns in interwar Europe. Don’t bother, you aren’t worth orguong with anymore.
