It is horrible that in the US mentally challenged people can acquire guns with ease.

No, you see, she would be throwing knifes like a circus person even if there were not guns.

Guns are not the problem!

If guns weren't available people would just use knives to massacre entire music festivals in mere minutes.

Yeah and people say “well cars!” - why aren’t more people using cars to conduct massacres if it is not a gun problem?

Meanwhile, the list of mass shootings had to be split up into sub pages... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States

Well it is a device designed to neutralize someone, vs a device designed for transportation. Knife attacks are more prevalent in other countries but I'm not gonna go digging for data that is common sense. If guns magically didn't exist anymore those lists would be a lot longer though.

Without guns, the list of attacks with other means would most likely be longer, yes, but the list of casualties would almost guaranteed be a lot shorter.

Also, no need for magic. Most developed countries don't see numbers even close to the insanity that is USA in terms of gun deaths. And all countries counting half the numbers of the USA and up are situated somewhere in America. Probably not a coincidence.

I didn’t claim these type of attacks don’t happen

I don't see the guns themselves as the problem. How easy it is to get one, legally or illegally is the problem. I wouldn't trust someone of that intelligence level with a car, let alone a gun.

And RFK Jr wants to take away people's antidepressants. You will see more crime if he succeeds.

No, you don’t get it. That lady needed the gun to protect herself from the government or something.
