'rightwing nutjobs' with guns.

statistically speaking, they are less of a concern than your garden variety dirtbag criminal, most of whom are politically apathetic.

your average gangbanger, armed robber etc. is not a political creature.

i've been in shootouts and seen dozens of shooting victims.

you are correct that the problem is cultural, but it is not wackjob political ideologues (those are the exception), it is gangbangers, and garden variety criminal scumbags
