I realize this is a divisive issue, but it's clear that these horrific incidents are going to keep happening with shocking regularity. It seems we've all collectively shrugged our shoulders and accepted it as the reality going forward.

Switzerland, Finland and Canada have a high per capita gun ownership and they are not shooting each other all the time.

We also don't have a gun culture. The people i know own guns, but don't really want to own said guns. I don't even know where my rifle is right now, somewhere in the basement i'd assume. We usually don't jerk off to our firearms and hope that someone trespasses to shoot them in the face

Exactly, we need to focus on why people are harming others

You mean like our glorification of gun ownership, the military, and war in general?

The thing is, there are clear ways to regulate gun ownership (even without banning them), whereas solving the mental health crisis is far more vague and subjective.

I mean, healthcare reform and considering mental health care as a serious need to fill would be a great start, not that most conservatives are gonna put their money where their mouth is on that point or anything.

And US are, so what's your point? The theoretical possibility of having guns and being responsible sure will be a strong argument for gun ownership once US get their collective shit together. Until then, ban'em for a century or two.
