I personally do believe that eliminating guns has a net benefit to safety. I am just arguing whether it is significant enough to bother.

The world is getting safer, this is true, what is up is mass shootings however, and the answer to why is the question everyone is asking. Lack of access to a universal healthcare system with mental health support? The growing poverty, the struggling middle class, the partisanship of politics and the growing animosity between "left" and "right"..
I wish there was a good answer to how to stop this, banning guns in the US won't work, it would start a mini civil war.
