    I generally agree with the principle of what you’re saying in a philosophical sense. However, there are also some empirical truths to contend with. People typically don’t like radical change, people are prone to impulsive errors in judgement (‘system 1 thinking’), an impulsive mistake with guns has far greater implications than an impulsive mistake without guns. So while yes there is a big cultural change that needs to happen, in practice you have to make small changes that marginally lead society towards a better culture.
