That's pretty much what you've said. Now read that and tell me with a straight face that you aren't full of shit.


P1. We have no reason to believe any single cause exists that linked with homicidal rampages
P2. Without cause to address, we can only treat symptoms - guns
P3. Guns make homicidal rampages more deadly and widespread

C. To reduce effect and occurrence of homicidal rampages we need to reduce prevalence of guns.

If you come up tomorrow and show me a clear method how to stop any and all rampages without undue societal costs, then I will drop any and all objections to guns.
