Questions for our American friends

Why when there is a mass shooting does it seem like a lot of people's solution is more guns?
As outsiders looking in how exactly would that help?
And why is the suggestion of reducing guns such a sore topic?

That's not true at all, clearly there are plenty of people who have a multitude of solutions that don't include getting more guns.

If the goal was to reduce the number of shootings, it likely won't help. If the goal is to empower more Americans to learn how to legally defend themselves from criminals from guns, then it makes more sense.

Because it tends to come from people who don't live here, and seem to have some sort of moral objection to private citizens owning guns. They get very pissy and shameful and demand to know why Americans like their guns, but then don't listen to, or accept the reasons.
