Elimination of civilian ownership of firearms isn't exactly "utopian" - because, again, that type of policy actually exists in several nations.
You've already agreed that those countries are those countries and are *not* the United States.
After all, the result of that "Boating Accident" is that the guns and ammo are actually lost - and likely permanently. It doesn't really matter if the guns get destroyed as part of a buyback or because they're tossed overboard - the outcome is the same.
Uhhh.... I see I need to add more air quotes: " " boating accident " ", as the joke goes, is a euphemism for All my weapons mysteriously vanished, officer. I have no clue where they went. The point being, of course, that absolutely nothing happened to any of them.
Anyways. Thanks to
-Cultural rot
-Absent parents
-Lack of strong home environments
-Rise of social media
-Overmedicating of kids in lieu of discipline...
...and magnified by recent social disruptions in the form of COVID lockdowns that we're in for a rough period where we have all sorts of people running around out there with serious and untreated mental issues. Mass shootings are a sign of that and getting rid of guns in a spiraling crime environment just makes for more victims in the end.
