I agree, banning guns will not fix the issue. America was founded on and is sustained by violence, terrorism, capitalism and white supremacy. They are embedded in the culture. Mental illness and gun violence are symptoms of broken spirits, disconnection, failed leadership, and trauma. This country lacks true community, but presents the facade of being one nation. Most of us exists in networks with singular external goals that fail to serve the greater good. Something's got to give, but the problem is many don't want to give up all that's needed to evolve and do better. Fear is too pervasive and I hope one day folks wake up soon.
