IMHO, we are only stuck with the reality we accept.

Reality is an internal perception not an external social norm or government regulation.

Don't confront what we are obsessed with, but the process of obsession itself.
Ah, confront the disease itself, not just the symptom,,,,,

So, the answer is to make a better world to live in, such that the symptom (obsession with guns) does not need to manifest itself.....(?)

Sure, I'll start right now.......Guess this is one good reason to practice aikido and incorporate it into our lives.....still.........

Zazen emptiness
Sitting under the moon
Mosquitoes whine in glee
