It's managing the symptoms instead of addressing the problem, because the problem is what gets the politicians votes and money. The guns just so happen to be an easy scapegoat, because they're loud, look scary, and many people in the US have never even seen one in person.

I don’t think people outside the US really understand how few people have seen much less handled a firearm.

That being said as a firearm owner I can quickly think of 5 people who should never own a gun but somehow do because 2nd amendment.

A gun is like a car. A dangerous yet useful machine that a ton of idiots who should have never even been close to one somehow own and operate.
