More shootings.

AND they have access to highly effective weapons.

Try to understand that the problem is multifaceted. When you act as if guns are not part of the problem you simply seem dense.

...and when you act as if guns are the only problem you simply seem ignorant.

NO ONE is saying guns are not the only problem. But we are saying that far too many people use that as an excuse to do nothing about guns and all the problems that lead to gun death.

I have said that the weapons industry has no interest in solving economic problems. You create social stability and economic stability people will feel less stress, have less crime, less addiction, and more stability. That would reduce the feeling of many to feel like they need a gun. Less gun sales less profits for the manufacturers. There is not one big business that does not seek to grow it's market and gain more profits.

You look at when some major violent event happens, does not have to be a mass shooting. Just a gun death, be it from a robbery, home invasion, rape, domestic murder, ect ect ect, even a missing kid. Those crimes cause fear and cause people to go out and buy guns. So more crime and more fear increase the sale of guns.

I put the blame on big business in general. It has CURRENTLY, no interest in making it's profits in the ethical way of problem solving and improving the lives of society. What we have now is simply a giant Ponzy scheme, an extraction market that makes us dependent on them and more desperate.

So when you say the problem isn't just guns, we are saying DUH, but guns should not be used as an excuse to do nothing either.
