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?

You are mostly spot on, imo.
Actually I don't have a solid take as to the deeper reasons, but...
I think sitting in front of a screen all damn day and half the night, staring into it, playing games, engaging in who knows what, without movement, fresh air, exercise, grounding of self in the real tangible world, and too much idle time, is greatly contributing to "mental illness". <<<For use of a better word. And there's no way for the collective to fix that.

Plus I believe humans and the condition of the world will "wax worse and worse". So we should probably brace up.

Although I do NOT believe citizens should have assault rifles.
