    Given the opportunity to outlaw “assault weapons” or eliminate hate, fear and greed, which do you think would reduce deaths the most? Saying this because Amish communities are generally armed to the teeth without any shootings.

      I would guess countries/societies with a (much) smaller wealth gap and more homogenous culture/values have less mass shootings. Perhaps in these societies there is less isolation between people, for better and worse?
