"I'm not pro gun" Whatever else you may be you are certainly no great thinker. To ignore the proliferation of military weapons and large clips since the mid 60's in an attempt to blame gun violence on psychotropic drugs is a shallow, thoughtless enterprise.
Video games, movies,television,drugs,comic books, the emasculation of single white males, may all be problematic to some degree or other ( and have all been sighted recently as causing violence) but none of these cause gun violence. GUNS CAUSE GUN VIOLENCE.
More than 10,000 people die in the U.S. every year from gun violence and the direct cause is the wide availability of GUNS. The absurd argument that more guns will make us safer makes as much sense as the idea that more cigarettes will prevent lung cancer. It is an empty argument, absurd on its face and universally disproved by data.
Until we are willing to recognize that guns of all kinds are too easily available to anyone who wants them we cannot solve the problem, which is TOO DAMN MANY GUNS.
Any discussion of "underlying issues" merely deflects focus from the obvious cause/effect relationship between a the wholesale availability of guns and death.
