Tell me, do you think all of these causes you list are unique to the US?
Different poster, but no - they aren't common to the U.S., however gun ownership rates are also not consistently tied to higher murder rates. Russia has a very high violent crime rate, but little to no firearms. The root cause IS the issue, but gun availability (the tool used) does make it easier to commit murder.
The real question is freedom vs. safety. I vote for freedom and always will, even at the risk to my kids and myself. That is the price of freedom. Nothing in life that is worth something is risk-free. Amazing how many people still think the opposite. However, if you think the loss of freedom to carry for law-abiding citizens is less important than the safety of a low percentage of the overall population who are murdered randomly in a mass shooting (extremely low percentage) then that is your right to have that opinion and to try to convince others and politicians of that belief. I'd prefer to have government go after the root cause of most gun-related murders (drugs, gangs, crime) than ban or confiscate arms from the rest of us over a small percentage deaths due to glorified mass shootings, the glorification of which urges future acts of a similar nature. Meanwhile, in the rest of the US, a lot more black men were killed in gang/drug related shootings this week with no moral outrage.

Then he got Covid and ended up in the ICU.
He took it all back. He suddenly saw the value of his health.
Pp values freedom over safely, right up until they pulled aside because their child wasn’t with the rest of the kids. They have to remember what their child was wearing that morning, so the body can be identified.

You don't need money when you plan to kill yourself or go to jail for the rest of your life.

This is who he bought the guns from. Three months free financing. He only had to pay for the bullets."
Yeah, you can finance weapons of war now with no job and no employment and at 18. Great deal.
