There are a lot of guns in possession of citizens.  But that's not the problem.

We obviously have 2 problems.   First, Cars.  Everyone can get and drive a car here in this state.  The situation is ridiculous.  Cars are everywhere.  Secondly, suicides.  We need better help for those with mental issues.
