As has been said too many times to count.
It is not the guns.
Why is there no rage/anger/hostility toward the ongoing teaching of our youth and young adults how to maim/rape/torture/dis-member/disrespect/et al?
All one has to do is review the video games, the television shows, the movies, the attitudes toward right and wrong.
Day in and day out the preponderance of violence is a steady presentation in the lives of our daily lives.
Once upon a time parents would be selective about what the "kids" watch. Almost a non-existent practice.
The language and attitude and disrespect of far too high a percent of our youth is unacceptable.
Add to the above (and much more like it) the easy going, permissive, don't upset anybody culture.....the formula for only more violence is cast.
Why do we not hear about these things. Because it affects the parents and the administrators, the so called adults of the day are too involved in the same crap. And they sure are not going to want to deny themselves the enjoyment that is poisoning our youth our culture.
Nope!!
It is much easier to pick a subject to blame that most of them DO NOT PARTICIPATE in like guns to blame. Zero impact on their enjoys.
Until the root cause is addressed we the people can go on wringing their hands and waving their arms and talking from the prepared talking points, with no progress (what ever that means).
The innocents will continue to be ALLOWED to be slaughtered until such time as America wakes up and restores it's disciplined roots, culture and values.
Shame on we the people to allow such a deterioration to continue. As the last 20 years have shown.....IT CAN AND WILL ONLY CONTINUE!!
It ain't the guns.

I would add the following question that you did not list....
WHY does our country not address those from outside the country whose mission it is to inflict unrest and strife on issues like this ?
Why pretend that does not exist, constantly and to my knowledge with no plans to address it ?
It is totally ignored in all these discussions and it seems it is just getting worse. What point in ignoring it as if it were not real ?
"Russia-linked bots have particularly distorted the gun control debate. Revelations that thousands of bot posts had claimed Parkland survivors were paid actors prompted Facebook and YouTube to promise to crackdown on trolls. But the falsehoods continue to proliferate. Meanwhile, in April, YouTube headquarters in Silicon Valley itself became the site of a mass shooting."

The minute we have any kind of mass shooting they appear on Facebook, although not restricted to simply that site and begin the proliferation of phoney and false stories.
And between the shootings, we allow them to incorporate plain out lies and false truths to our children, and again.....we have no plan to fight this.
We continue to do "as ordered"....fight with each other over and over again.
