    It's too easy and lazy to point the finger at mental health, radical Islam, immigration, or basic homophobia. Other countries have these problems too; but in those countries you can't walk into a Walmart and buy an assault weapon. There have been over 130 mass shootings in the US so far this year.

    You have a gun problem.
