>>16865045America has a deep rooted problem that can't simply be fixed by more laws or regulations, and it won't be fixed by moving to a more European model of government. The fundamental problem is the people as a collective society. Between the news media, corrupt politicians, the federal government having entirely too much power, and a general sence of not caring about anything, this is what is causing the problems. There is so much of a mess that started in the late 1800s. That doesn't mean everything went to hell in a hand basket imediately then. But you look at that time and you see that that is when corporations really started to see what kind of influence they could have. So add that to time where we have racial distress being amplified by the news, a forced need to be militant to fuel national pride (something that the rest of the world realized was bad after WWII, but Russia and the US can't accept) and a whole generation that grew up in a time where hippies and "the man" waged war on eachother, and now the millenials have no fucking idea what to do, especially when all this is amped up 10 fold on social media and the Internet, most of which they originally retreated to to get away from those born in the 50s through the early 80s. So yes, we have problems. But the problems come from way more other things rather than just gun laws, which, by the way, there are a lot more gun owners in the US that don't actually use these guns for stupid shit like that. Just saying
