>>> But the root of gun violence is not what we think it is. Both the Left and Right, despite their heated disagreements, share an implicit assumption about gun violence: That before anyone pulls a trigger, they carefully weigh the pros and cons beforehand. That gun violence is a deliberate, rational act.

Show me one person who actually thinks that.

Guns are designed to make split second decisions into life changing consequences. There is nothing I hate more than poorly trained firearms owners that flag people with their weapons, load weapons when they aren't ready to fire, and just generally fuck around with the things.

Adult human beings acting like children and holding deadly firearms. It's a recipe for disaster. Idiots can turn perfectly normal situations into decades long prison sentences.
