Definitely not a gun issue. Canada has per capita as many guns as we do but not nearly the gun violence. We could start with bullying in school. Definitely a bigger part of the issue. These aren’t cheerleaders and starting QB’s shooting up the schools. It’s kids that are considered outcasts.
I thought the Canada argument was pretty interesting, never heard that before. I listen to a lot to JRE and the fact the US has more guns than people is constantly brought up. Turns out that is not true, Canada isn't in the top 10 anymore https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/americas/us-gun-statistics/index.html
There is an article from 2014 comparing Micheal Moore comments about Canadian gun ownership versus US gun ownership. He made the same comment as above.
The answer is never one thing though its part mental health, part some humans are pure evil, part indoctrination (red pill, jihaad, white nationalism), and part getting gun is pretty f-ing easy. The reason why nothing will ever change is because neither party will admit their particular fault in what they defend and come up with a a solution that addresses all 4.
