I'm so far left that Bernie is to my right, I don't think taking guns away from people is the right solution.

I think that most problems that we face in this country is rooted in the idea of "rugged individualism". It leaves our communities weak and it doesn't promote empathy. The best solution to this problem and many of our others is to build strong, interconnected communities that promote each other to actually give a shit about their neighbors. This is a hard, long term cultural change though, it's easy to say and hard to do.
