Humans
Much of the human species is too unevolved to carry a gun. They too often base their reactions on emotions, instead of using intellect. That lack of self discipline creates a warring society stuck in escalating circumstances. Unfortunately, we will never get out of this spiraling out of control because too many think the reaction should be bigger guns, more guns, etc. That never stops because violence always creates more violence, despite whether you think your “violence” is in the right. There will be no end to it until it destroys our society, and many start looking for a strong-man authoritarian that makes them feel safe again, and that will end our democracy because that group of society will do anything to keep their strong man in office and be-damned the democracy experiment. That’s how democratic societies always end.
