The genie’s out of the bottle now, you can’t feasibly take all the guns away anymore. Best you can do is improved gun control for NEW firearm sales, and perhaps buyback programs. But your countrymen will never accept being disarmed forcibly. Plus with all the shit going on, perhaps it’s time for more left-leaning people to arm themselves too. Idk, I’m not from around there.
Now the question is what to do next. A sane country would invest in mental health, generally improving people’s overall well-being (health, financial, etc), and rooting out all the right-wing propaganda.
I mean that is also indirectly an investment in mental health, just not directly in mental health services.
But I don’t think it’s JUST the “nothing left to lose” mentality. If it was, you’d see more rich people being shot. There’s a huge factor of the “nothing left to lose” people being indoctrinated into hating other people like themselves instead of the rich.

The USA is not that country.
Bro just give people a reason to get up in the morning and this won’t happen.
The problem is they feel like they have nothing to lose and want to take their anger out on society.
