I blame guns for gun violence. I also tend to blame viruses for viral diseases and tornados for tornado destruction, but I guess that just makes me an idiot.

Guns are not 100% at fault. I have guns for hunting, sport and self-protection. None of my guns, not one of my guns have shot anyone. I can even go as far as to say, none of my guns have never shot anything, that I did not aim, pull the trigger and force it to shoot. It stops shooting when I stop.

Have I ever been robbed? Yeah, once. But I live in a country where no-one wanders around with gun, so they didn’t have one either. See how it works? If no-one has a gun, no-one needs one. And then you end up with a vastly lower murder rate.

UK has a significant issue with stabbing violence, particularly involving youths. Knife-related offenses in England and Wales have surged by 87% over the last decade, with over 54,000 incidents recorded in the last year and a continuing increase in 2025. You need a gun.

What stops you taking aim at kids at a school? What if that barrier is somehow removed.... what then? Granted you may argue the risk is small, I'd counter argue the price is too high to accept any risk. Up till 13.03.1996 43 year old Thomas Hamilton had never shot anyone either.

If we put aside the requirement of a driving liscence yes I could take my car down the road and try to plough through kids. But there's infrastructure in the way, i get one shot at and my car moves slower than a bullet so easier to spot and avoid. Where do you go? remove firearms from everyone.

Instead of using the lens "to whom should we assign the blame", try asking "how could we prevent the harm?" It doesn't matter whether we consider the original gun owner to be directly to blame. The fact is, if the gun wasn't there to be stolen, that particular shooting could have been prevented.

In places that have successfully prevented the mass gun violence we see in the U.S.A., they didn't achieve it by taking guns away forcefully. Usually combination of voluntary buy-backs to reduce excess supply, and stronger regs making them harder to buy, requiring safer storage, more training, etc.

A lot of gun owners fantasize that the guns in their homes will one day be used to heroically stop a home invader. Statistically, a gun in the home is *vastly* more likely to be used on a family member — a child playing and misfiring it, a suicide, domestic violence. Harder to get at is *good*.

Sure, felons can't own guns, and in some states a domestic assault conviction or restraining order will disqualify you, and some states have red flag laws that only work if someone is flagged. Then you have courts saying those are unreasonable restrictions and some states prohibiting restrictions.

So, we agree there are prohibiting restrictions for guns, like we do for driver licenses. No matter how difficult you make it, people will find a way around the rules. I may or may not have had a fake ID/license when I was younger (it was expensive). I cannot confirm or deny it.

There are a few restrictions, but not universal, like we have for drivers licenses.

The issue is two-fold. We routinely ignore and marginalize people with severe mental health issues but it is also way to easy for these people to get their hands on a gun, legally or illegally.

Reducing guns will not help. We try to reduce illegal drugs, yet they are everywhere especially in South Texas. I do agree with the severe mental issue. The big trend fact that no one talks about are these soft targets that shooters are picking (schools and churches).

Remember the goal isn't 0 guns, just less guns. And unlike drugs most people who want guns for things like recreation or collecting or some other use case, aren't going to generally make a huge demand for illegal weapons in response to lowered availability. Drug demand tends to induce a supply.
