      I mean the US is too lax with access to guns, but they also have many other problems that lead to this. I mean it’s telling that mass shootings don’t really happen anywhere else, even in places with effectively no gun control.

        There is really no other comparable country in the world with the same gun proliferation as the US..

        So yes, guns are definitely the main factor here.

          You can’t assume a correlation from one data point. If it’s the guns, then that’ll show up in data from other countries too. When’s the last time you heard of a mass shooting in Yemen?

      Because it’s literally impossible to solve. The party which would do that would literally be guaranteed to lose the next election and the other party would then revert the decision. A massive part of the US population gets really pissed when you try to take their guns (or even just the possibility of them having guns in the future). Trying to actually restrict gun ownership is political suicide in the US.

      What could be done is solving the actual problem: Kids turning into psychopaths by being bullied over years until their mind breaks.
