You just said what the problem actually is - evil people. A gun is just an inanimate object. The problem is PEOPLE. Crazy, mentally ill, psychotic PEOPLE. Focus on fixing that instead of blaming guns.

Guns facilitate impulsive decisions that would often otherwise not happen. Guns may not always be a root problem, but they are a problem.

As far as mental health and other support programs go, Republicans block the majority of attempts to address them because they view government expenditures in such areas a no go. And honestly mental health in particular is a red herring, as there isn't even a meaningful correlation between mental illness and (gun) violence, but good job blaming a common scapegoat.

But don't worry, I hear we don't need to do anything because you can fix everything with thoughts and prayers.
