### Comment:
But is it really the guns? I mean, there are countries that have gun ownership that don't have shootings like the USA. I'm very open minded about this too, I've never owned a gun, but I understand it can be a hobby for people. Increased regulations are fine, I'm just wondering if guns are really the root cause of any of this.

### REPLY:
Imo guns are just tools. But tools with absurdly high consequences for misuse. America has really really lax regulations on almost all aspects of purchasing and ownership.  
  
 You can tackle it 2 ways: deal with their mental health issues, or increase ownership threshold. And the USA is doing LESS of both
