I think tbh people don’t want to think about it. To me ghost guns up the stakes and we need to think about it more than ever

I think that everyone knows this as it matches intuition what the paragraph leaves out (guessing) is that violent criminals are constantly having these rage fits So gun violence isn’t made up of regular ppl who have a bad day, get into an argument and kills someone, but rather a person who is a rage head and gets into arguments all the time so saying “well we just need to calm them down” won’t work practically because the next day that person will get angry again and shoot someone else. This is one reason why gun permitting hasn’t stopped violent offenders My basis for this is that most violent crime in a city is done by the same few people, who act violently over and over again.
