I would argue that you do in fact say the MOST about our society.

Truly, the Internet‘s best bird.

I know i SAID it was Undertale before, but I changed my mind!

Violence is the bedrock upon which this nation is built, the reason that capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy are the unbelievably destructive forces they are.
It has to change with us, on a personal level, and spread outward from there.

WE NEED to listen, because violence in America is not a thing the government can deal with, even if it wanted to. I'd go as far as to say our government has a vested interest in stoking those flames. That unchecked rage and lust for killing becomes their best policemen, their best soldiers, etc.

People who know mass shooters usually say one of two things about them when they're interviewed after the fact.
"I never would have suspected he'd commit such an act of violence", and "He was a scary asshole nobody liked. The signs were all there and nobody listened."

A defenseless populace a the mercy of an extremely unpopular administration that has seemingly dedicated itself to opposing human rights? Yeah, no, I'm sorry, but that terrifies me MORE than every mass shooting combined.

On the flip side, the banning of every gun will in fact require the violent force of people with guns, and will create a power imbalance the likes of which our power hungry government has wet dreams about every night.

but you gotta realize that that's probably a sentiment that shooter probably echoed in his head a dozen times a day! An image of a hostile world where violence is the only answer. Zero problems get solved this way. Only more death.
