@freepeoplesfreepress I didnt mean to imply your intent was to abolish the second amendment.

I am just trying to point out that the framing of your question is flawed and likely the result of social biases many people have...

Do we have a gun problem? No... we have a violence problem. Many tools are used to carry out violence, but having access to those tools dont cause the violence, they are very much secondary.

The proof we have that there isnt a gun problem is simple, just look at how homicide or violence rates (not gun violence all violence) change when guns are banned... if guns were the causitive agent (and thus appropriate to say we have a gun problem) then when guns are banned then violence overall would go down. Thats not what we see, in fact more often violence goes up, considerably. This clearly demonstrates we have a violence problem, and guns have little to do with it even when they are often the tool of choice.
