He typed It poorly, but I think his point was: Try to kill 30 children in a school with a knife.
If the person wants to kill, they will kill, but a gun (a big gun even) will make this task, orders of magnitude easier.
The point isn't If it's bad or not, of course it's all bad.
But If I had to notify 30 families of their deceased parents over 1 family, the choice is obvious.
You are right the guns won't shoot anyone by themselves, but they're very much an easy access to whoever wants to mass kill people.
Trying to solve people's heads is a long term effort, and taking away guns is a short term bandaid. The thing is people are dying Now, you need to save people now, while simultaneously trying to solve the root problem.
If you're thinking only talking to people Now, will help anyone, we're in for many more kill streaks
This same sentiment is echoed in the tech community around AI artwork and it's, frankly, silly. You cannot blame a tool for being misused. You can say that only certain people should have ready access to a tool, and there are strict rules for the use of a tool, but at the end of the day, the tool bloody exists, saying "hey, can we just not use the tool, guys?" doesn't work. Fix the people who have the most likelihood of misusing the tools, prevent access to the tool from unqualified people, and otherwise just accept that misuse is the price of advancement, as unfortunate as that is.
You make it sound that changing peoples minds are a super easy task compared to removing guns.
I for one am saying that both things should be done at the same time.
Lets end this here, you're trying to poke flaws in the person you're discussing with, instead of being civil and analyzing the problem, I pray that neither of us pay no stab tax, jesus.
I agree. This guy's been all over this thread and all he's really said is "wouldn't it be better if nobody died?" Yeah of course it would. No one can argue with that and no one should argue with the poster above you because it isn't productive at all.
try reading before commenting next time, i find it helps me not look like a fucktard
what the fuck is this incoherent pile of sludge
Double response to the same post. Unnecessary.

i deserve death because you got your little feelings hurt? yeah, that's totally not vile and totally something a sane person would say. go play in traffic.
i don't think it worked, go play in traffic again
if bleach didn't work, i would suggest frequent and heavy exposure to uranium.
Actually I'm down here and you're absolutely insufferable. How you think it's okay to take personal attacks at several people across these post comments just because they don't think it's feasible to completely conquer the idea of violence before coming up with some common sense regulations is the craziest thing. You're coming off like a crazy person.
