Was it worth giving up all of their guns to do something that was already going to happen? I can't in good faith say that banning guns is the right way. We could ban "unsafe" cars. We could ban alcohol. I used to think banning guns was the way, but the more I look at it, I doubt banning guns would fix the school shooting problem. It would just change the method. These things are so rare and unhinged in methodology that it's a clear cry for help and it's not gonna stop. For overall gun violence it's already declining, except in the US, which it recently started increasing which again, I don't think I can blame guns for such weird stats.
I don't own guns I don't vote right, but I'm wary of taking peoples rights away without being 100% correct in my reasoning lest the same happen back to me. Golden rule after all...
I also fear the externalities of losing gun culture, as America leads in warfare, and while some may hate that, a country's military might is important, and I'm not really ever interested in being in a Ukraine like situation, because someone thought my country is weak.... I hate our military spend, I think we are getting scammed by 20%+ easily, but I'm not willing to straight up lose military supremacy...
