Do guns kill people or is it people using guns to kill people?

What if there were no guns at all?

Do you think mentally ill people would go round hitting people with big rocks in the head? Or killing maybe with a bow and arrow?

Guns are an easier method to killing efficiently. Big time. That’sa fact.

Realistically though we all know deep down it’s people killing people.

There’s a million reasons why people kill people. Some key reasons in my mind are how they were raised. How they were taught to deal with stresses in life and how to process emotions.

Shitty parents or life experience’s make damaged people. Damaged people turn around and damage others.

Thoughts? Feelings? Emotions?

It's probably a good idea to have some restrictions on guns in order to make it harder for people to kill each other in cold blood. It's probably bad though, to build ourselves a society where the only reason why people don't go around murdering each other is because we don't have guns. There are a myriad of reasons why this shit happens and you definitely touched on some of 'em. I think car culture is honestly part of the issue; the automobile and its infrastructure physically separates members of communities from one another. When we spend all this time in a metal box, honkin' at each other, dodgin' potholes, flippin' each other off for shitty driving, that makes us feel separated from each other, and it stresses us the hell out. Maybe people wouldn't be so keen on killing each other if we actually walked around the city most of the time and saw people face to face, just doin' normal things.
