Also, why are you putting words in my mouth. And you seem very angry. Guns have been a staple in america sunce its incetion. We have banned assault rifles. As human beings we do not advocate for the state to control how we protect ourselves, for the state is the most murderous of all murderers.

The gun is a tool, but the person behind it pulls the trigger. It's that simple. The solution isn't banning guns but ending psyops and researching where crime from guns is most prevelant. I gave you the answer and the reasons are obvious. Wealth Inequality, poverty, drug violence, substance abuse and poor education. These issues are what breed violence, fix them and you'll fix crimes commited with a gun. Like I've said rural areas with high guns per capita, like areas in vermont have very low gun crime. So, low, it is a non-issue.

No guns no gun deaths seems simple to me? But still you think there is some sort of nuance to my statement. I am making my views in my declaration. Don't care about this over complicated view because of my first statement. Keep all the weapons you want just keep and use them at the armory. Except hunting. At the very least we need a census of weapons loose in America. Then we can talk we can fix this if you should get your head right and regulate the need for guns in the first place. Remember we didn't let woman vote or blacks in America either. I know this is changing with each killing while others pray away answers the NRA don't like. Vote them out.
