I don't think banning guns in the US is realistic - especially considering the sheer number of guns. There's more guns than people, with nearly 400 million guns in civilian possession, with almost all of them unregistered. It's so deeply baked into our culture.

It means there is often more training knowledge and upbringing in states with more guns. They also know chances are you are less likely to use a gun on someone when they have a gun.

What is positively correlated with gun homicides is gun allowance. Mental health is not a good predictor for mass shootings.

Need to differentiate between “gun violence” in general and “mass shootings”. Both are very different problems with likely different solutions. I assume we’re talking about the mass shootings here?

Start with proper research by the CDC, allow gun records to be kept electronically, increase the efficiency of background checks, maybe?
