Except we are unlikely to even do THAT (ban guns).

The reality is that the solution lies in large cultural changes. It also requires a massive reduction in the amount of fear that politicians willfully generate in order to get and hold power.

The abandonment of a lot of American historical mythology.

It would require a far more tolerant (and community focused) society and a far more rational society. That will require a concerted effort over the span of more than 1 generation.

Your view reflects mine. We will not ban guns (and shouldn't) and even if we did it wouldn't solve the problem. Cultural change is needed.
