I believe part of the problem is "our" gun culture. We have Americans sending out Christmas Cards with a family picture of all holding a gun.
I understand it's a 2nd amendment statement, and that not everyone with a gun will hurt someone. But the prevalence of guns in our society is off the hook. Whether it's greeting cards, games, symbols guns are elevated beyond a simple tool. And yes I am a gun owner.
We need to tackle gun perception, mental illness, and bullying. Along with tightening up some gun laws.
