[quote=Anonymous]I am more afraid of the guns than of COVID.  The virus you can mitigate.  Vaccines, medicine, preventative care.  Guns?  God, they are everywhere!  Shot on the metro, playground, stray bullets.

But here's the thing - in the US - it will get worse not better because the culture of the country highlights above all, independence.  Unless there is a government mandate (and even there - look at COVID - it's not 100% effective), there will be a ton of guns.  We are never going to go the way of Australia, UK, or anywhere else where people come to their sensibilities and all agree that guns = violence.

Here in the US, we will never have universal life insurance (too much money in it for insurance, it's a financial racket that works for too many people), we will never have paid leave the way they have in Europe and everywhere else (people love money too much) and we will never have a welfare policy that truly protects/assists those most needing help (we are too much of a dog eat dog society) and finally, guns are part of the US culture (Constitution) and no political movement or tragedy will ever change that.

The best that can happen is the whole culture and structure of US society changes to become a different society altogether.  Until then, this country is a scary and depressing place (unless you have money of course!).
