Whatever THAT is.
Clear as mud.
Thanks...
Well, the topic seems to be gun violence and how to address it. In societies with high rates of gun violence, the chief cause is the behaviours and attitudes of the people in that society towards guns. I indict a gun culture that leads to violence.
I don’t think I can make it any plainer that that.

In the US, one aspect of our gun culture that probably does the most damage - a thing that's changed about us gun culture just in living memory - is that a fairly large portion of gun purchasers and owners will tell you they bought a firearm...for self defense.
It's a thing we think is for shooting people. This, predictably, leads to people being shot.
