It really isn’t a gun problem; that’s a symptom of a much larger societal sickness. Banning guns won’t stop this because mass shooters aren’t going to abide by the law. We have a country south of us that smuggles in illegal products on a daily basis.
What we need is a better mental health care system.
I disagree in part because I see it as both a gun problem and a mental health crisis. Guns have one purpose, to create a lethal hole in somebody. So it makes no sense to me that a human would want anything to do with them. Part of the mental health problem is getting people to see how dangerous guns are and making sure people with histories of violence don’t get hold of them.

Killing people is not the only use for a gun.
I’d believe that if people actually only used them for hunting, but they don’t, and there’s nothing more awful than people with guns.
They use our guns in that “country to the south.” Often procured through the direct incompetence of our own officials.
And how much would you like to bet that the US gun manufacturers will open up shop in Mexico if a gun ban is implemented?
Again, guns are a symptom, and banning them is nothing more than a bandaid.
I’m not some 2A nut either. I don’t actually own any guns.
Dude. Mexico has some of the strictest gun laws on earth. You can only legally buy a gun inside a single military base in the whole country.
I’m sure they also have laws against cocaine, but that doesn’t stop it from being trafficked. Cartels tend to be largely above the law.
