It is obvious how begin to reduce it. We need better methodologies to keep guns our of the hands of irresponsible and mentally ill people. There are many things we can do on that front that won't require a constitutional amendment that may, if ever, take many many years for a sufficient change in what the culture as a whole believes. We can't even get a constitutional amendment for the rights of women. How does that make sense?
All efforts to ban guns will lead to more arms being sold. The more sold the more in the hands of incompetent and otherwise dangerous people. It's gun nuts, not the most mentally stable people, who will most be threatened that way. And they can own thousands of rounds to take care of things when the Zombie Marching Moron Democrats come to take away their guns.
Secondly, we can outlaw mass media attention to school shooting and other mass shootings. These vultures feel off of and stoke fear as a way to sell eyeballs to advertisers by acquiring national ratings. They thrive by playing on outrage. And Americans get their fix by watching. We are all so outraged by evil which shows how really really good we are.
And most important of all is our love of the system that produces violence in the first place, competitive capitalism where all you need to do to win is to become emotionally dead and defeat everybody in your path, a world full of monsters filled with self satisfied glee. The mental illness the structure of our society creates is why people are driven to kill and since we are all deeply infected with the same disease and the same need to deny it, we will never address the real issue. We are full of fear which produces violence because we live in constant threat the machine we have created and worship will grind us under.
The real facts are that when push comes to shove we don't want to change anything. For that reason we seek a scapegoat. Too many guns. I wonder why.
So light your torches and form up into a mob. Time to go after those evil witchy guns.
