Perhaps framing spree killings as a problem with guns blocks the chance to reduce the killings.
A significant segment of both sides of the gun control debate want safety.
Those who want guns taken away, want to stop the attacks of murderers
Those who want to keep lots of guns around, want them to stop the attacks of murderers.
Saying the problem is *guns* misses the vast consensus of "citizens who want their families to live" vs. "spree killers".

@DaveHiggins I can see that, it's the high road to take for sure and i respect your position on that basis, i'm also aware that the reasons for opposition to gun control have much more to do with contrarianism and an absolutist position on ownership than a considered opinion and therefore that a mutually beneficial consensus isn't a matter of compromise or contextualization.
For what it's worth i hope you're right, but as with my stance on guns the evidence leads me to think otherwise
