So many people claim that without guns we wouldn’t have senseless violence in society. If that’s so, then please someone explain to me this story about a guy attacking a Dunkin’ Donuts with an axe.

This disturbed person wasn’t using a firearm, but was still able to wreak havoc on the store and scare innocent customers. Luckily, no one was injured and the police were able to detain the suspect, but what are the chances of seeing this on the national news. We won’t because this story doesn’t properly explain how guns are the problem. This story shows that violence is a societal problem that can’t be stopped by banning firearms.
