@material pattern There's nothing wrong with the Devil's Advocate if you're genuinely trying to discover truth together! It's a good way to think through complex ideas, which is what we're doing!
That being said, what if we could fix the mental part? It seems like most violent people come from broken homes. Now, that's just a correlation, so we can't blame all violence on broken homes, but it's something to consider.
Also, only around 100 people are killed each year by long guns in mass shootings. That's still OF COURSE a tragedy, but most gun homicides (~<9,000) are done with handguns, something most politicians aren't even discussing. Why is that? Also, gun crime is falling, and has been for 25 years! It's actually about as low as it was in the 60s or 70s. Things are looking up! Why the push to ban guns now?
Lastly, you should look into the CDC's study on defensive gun use. It outweighs gun homicides by about 30x, depending on the estimate. A HUGE number of people in this country DEFEND themselves with a firearm each day and don't kill anyone in Aggression. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulhsieh/2018/04/30/that-time-the-cdc-asked-about-defensive-gun-uses/amp/
