No one is suggesting to get rid of every gun in the country. Every country that has good gun control laws still has guns. Here in Australia there are more guns now than there were before the gun reform in 1996 for example. What it means is that only people with a legitimate reason for owning a gun can own one, and they have to be vetted and have checks done and have strict rules around storing and transporting the guns. No one needs a pistol under their pillow. No one needs an AR in their wardrobe.
Are there still shootings? Sure. Have there been 500+ mass shootings this year like there have been in America? No. Here in Australia we haven’t had a single one since our gun control reform.
A part of the problem, not the only aspect.
Really? I’d say it’s a no Brainer. Easy access to firearms IS the problem.
Yeah that take is definitely a “no brainer”.
Not in the way you meant it, but still.
I mean it’s easily verifiable if you look it up that easy access to guns is the primary cause of gun deaths.

There is no problem on earth that can easily explained by only one thing.
Underestimating problems is an easy way to earn political points while never solving the overall problem.
I would suggest you use more of your brain in the future.
Yeah, except all the research and data points to easy access to guns as the issue. But yeah, bone headed take for sure.
Define easy access… is that some mental defect teenager taking a gun from his parents gun rack?
You can’t shoot someone without a gun. Guns are the entire problem in regards to mass shootings.

Certainly not a mass shooting, but a pretty high profile murder pulled off in a country without access to firearms.
It’s a multiple prong issue, and access to firearms is certainly a large prong; it’s just not the only prong.
Japan has guns, what are you talking about?
