So you say there is absolutely nothing we can do about it?
*Edit
If weapons are not the issue here - as many pro-gun people claim - then they can also not be the solution. That's what I wanted to say. That was my intention with the comment. What the US is facing here is a social issue. So there won't be one single solution or one single policy to solve it. Which of course also means that simply banning weapons is not solution as well.
What it requires would be a more healthy approach on gun culture in general. You can and should have the right to own fire arms and there can be a great fun in it as a sport, hobby, hunting or just in collecting them. Or keeping them for your safety. But we have to educate people on them. And gun owners have to push back against toxic gun culture. They are the only ones that can do that.
Second, mental health has to be finally addressed as a serious issue in the United States. Which means a lot more resources have to be spend here to help the people in need and their relatives. But we at least we both already agree on that part.
Even if everyone would be armed everywhere at every moment, it would still not solve the underlying problem. That's the point. Not to mention that just like removing all weapons it comes with its own potential issues. Moving from one extreme to another is in my opinion not a good idea.
