    Nah, we don’t very much need to worry about the murderous intentions, as long as they’re not able to put them into action.

    That’s the problem, guns let people turn those intentions into actions very easily.

      The Nice, France truck attack resulted in more deaths than someone shooting pseudo-automatic high capacity magazine rifles into a crowd of hundreds of people from an elevated position for like 30 minutes straight in Las Vegas

      People in Europe can easily enact their murderous intentions, they just seem to not have them at anywhere near the same scale

        The fact that a bag o’ guns enables one lone nutjob to carry out an attack comparable to a targeted attack from an organized terror group / government kind of proves the point that guns are in fact the problem.

          It doesn’t exactly take an organized terror group to rent a truck and get one single pistol, anyone with the will to do it could have committed that attack

            Well whenever we have a massive problem with frequent mass killings involving trucks we can talk about truck control too.

        It’s better for all concerned. The would-be murderers have the opportunity to reconsider and seek help before they’re in jail for life or killed by the police.
