I’d assume there were more readily available guns post ww2. If not for guns they’d be making pipe bombs or other weapons.

That's a totally baseless assumption, and it's wrong. But yeah, just spout whatever comes to your head to the internet and move on.

Given that you could order guns in the Sears catalog with no background check whatsoever back in the day, it's not baseless. Access to guns was demonstrably easier.

It's a baseless opinion that there are "too many guns", without even an attempt to define a range for what constitutes "too many". The implication is "there should be no guns", but that's a moral opinion to be debated, not a fact.

Because something took time to evolve into a problem doesn't mean it wasn't always a problem.

It’s not. Percentage of Americans owning at least one gun has trended downwards over last 50 years. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/us/rate-of-gun-ownership-...
