      B.

      Some people in this thread think banning guns will solve the problem. They believe the only reason the US firearm death rate is so high is because guns are legal.

        And they are right.

        The widespread availability of guns is one of the factors contributing to the rate and severity of gun crime, and needs to be addressed, in addition to poverty and mental health.

        It’s really not complicated.
