I'll not defend or debate guns, but I would posit if you took all the guns away right this moment, there would still be rage and loneliness and hate and desperation.
Guns make hate and rage easy to manifest, profoundly. They are rarely the cause of rage, but they are, too often, the tools to express it.
I have no answers, only observations and opinions......

There are over 400 million guns in this country how in the world would you get rid of them?
Have no clue how to fix this problem but defunding the police will not help.
