    Isn’t the real solution to gun violence just gun control? Not that I think the other problems shouldn’t be tackled holistically, but in regards to things we know we can do effectively and immediately, changing America’s collective perception of itself seems like a goal rather than a next step.

      No, that’s just masking a symptom instead of fixing the problem. Take away guns and suicidal kids seeking to take their abusers out with them will just switch to things like knives and explosives instead. It’s the abuse itself that must be stopped!
