I look at it like this, if someone is motivated to kill people, they will do it. A teen male went on a rampage in my state not too long ago using a knife. Obviously a gun is more dangerous, but if victims were armed it could easily offset other factors here. If people want to kill they will, and if they don’t have access to a gun they could target isolated people for attack to make up for it, or even build a bomb.
I’m not a fan of the gun culture in this country, and I do support reasonable gun control measures like banning high-powered assault rifles and basic background checks. I support the latter protocol with the knowledge not everyone who’s dangerous, even potentially, will be weeded out during background checks though.
I don’t think guns themselves are necessarily the problem, but other factors are. I don’t buy the white ‘privilege’ babble either, though this term sounds wonderful on paper to the politically correct these days it seems. What I think is there’s a problem with males of all races in general in America.
Personally I believe our hyper-masculine culture, and unfair expectations and ridicule of males is the cause of this violence. Males are lucky today, because both traditionalists with their real man propaganda and progressives with their all males are pigs babble have really helped to boost the self-esteem of boys. No wonder I’m a political nonconformist. Male issues need more attention.
