We idolize violence too much. We're taught to fight our way out of a solution. We're taught to bomb the **** out of a country if they look at us the wrong way. We get off to holding guns because it makes us feel manly.

And we stigmatize mental illness.
We don't give people the help they need.

So what is a culture/country that doesn't idolize violence?

@AlephZero

What about the military ?

Also the police are not very popular or trusted by the american people right now.

Agree. I'm not saying to tone down the violence because I do see the benefit in being exposed to it, but our mindset needs to change.

Why would they need guns if no one else had guns?

I most definitely agree it's a cultural issue, but that still doesn't mean it should be easy to get a gun. It's too late for a full blown ban as it will only cause more problems than it would solve, but it's not too late for stricter regulations.

Even gun nuts acknowledge there is a violent culture problem.

It's just then they twist it into blaming Grand Theft Auto.
