These arguments can be summed up simply as "Guns are so bad that only criminals and government can have them" - thus obtaining a monopoly on violence.
The political aftermath of the Parkland shooting has been liberal-led mass hysteria about guns, with many expressing outrage on how the gunman was able to purchase the weapon and calling for stricter gun control, such as better background checks, raising the minimum age to own a gun, an "Assault weapons" ban, etc.
The entire interpretive key to this debate is how lax or nonexistent guns laws were many decades ago, and yet, as research suggests, we didn't see this level of gun crime or mass shootings.
The availability of guns could be another reason, as is the case that we can buy guns much more easily, and the quantity and quality of guns are much greater than in earlier decades.
Addressing the "Gun problem" without addressing these other issues that may provide an explanation for the rise in mass shootings is a huge mistake.
If we focus only on guns and implement public policies accordingly, then there is one logical conclusion where all of this will end - the banning of guns.
Liberals may deny this, but no one should be surprised, since many Democratic Party voters clearly interpret the phrase "Gun control" as "Banning guns."
