Guns don't cause people who aren't predisposed to violence to kill. But they are a hell of a lot more efficient at killing people than knives, baseball bats, etc. Don't believe me, ask any NRA type what type of weapon he (or she) would prefer to have for self defense, and why.
The weapon of choice for mass shooters is, obviously, firearms. Unless you have some proficiency with explosives, there is simply no better means for killing a church, or a school, or whatever, full of people that guns. Seeing as how we are having so many of these mass shootings, it would seems that smart people would take aggressive steps to limit the ability of people prone to such activity to get their hands on guns.
But we can't be smart, because of the second amendment. The second amendment makes taking guns from people who should not have them impossible. And the prevailing mood in the U.S. is that is OK.
Therefore, I think it is about time to stop bitching about all the mass shootings we have in this country. The right does not give a shit, and it is the right that has defined the second amendment. Mass shootings are simply the price we pay for having a second amendment
