I might have missed one or two on the graph of the U.S. However, this is the best I can do for now.

My point of view is that guns are NOT the problem. Instead, what I believe is going on is that people no longer see themselves or other humans as sacred.

And if you don't see yourself and all humans as sacred what's to stop you from killing yourself and everyone else on earth?

So, the problem as I see it is a lack of respect for oneself and a lack of respect for everyone else. If someone wants to kill someone enough they are just going to do it whether they have guns or not.

So, to me, guns are not the problem. People's lack of respect for themselves and others is the real problem here and this is going to get much worse as long as some people are this way here in the U.S.
