I wouldn't say that there would be no need to worry about guns. But absolutely definitely tackle the mental health issue first, then have a look at the guns.
The easy availability of guns makes it more likely that guns will be used in violent attacks. Simple.
That said, I think the US doesn't have a gun problem as such. It has a mental health problem, specifically a problem in how it treats mentally ill people (or doesn't).
There, that's your diet. Don't over complicate it.
Reduction of calorie intake is the key to weight loss. But it's complicated and annoying to count calories, weigh everything, know the calories in a given food and so on. So forget the counting, switch to a quality diet that reduces your calorie intake, without leaving you hungry and annoyed at calorie-counting.
That's not the complaint, though. The complaint was about completely unnatural movement. There wasn't even an actor there to composite bullet holes onto, and the CGI-generated bad guy moves in a very Uncanny Valley way, which does take you out of the suspension of disbelief.
Viol8's critique boils down to "this is not to my taste, therefore it's bad for everyone". He can just skip the movies and not care about them, in silence. Not every movie is for everyone.
The complaint against overly-obvious CGI is perfectly valid, when they start relying way too much on it, rather than doing actual stunts or redoing shots that were less than optimal. It is a valid critique, and may lead the author to skip future Marvel movies if they continue in that direction.
Viol8 is complaining that not every movie is made specifically to his taste, but no one is forcing him to watch them.
As it so happens, a number of higher-end cars (Tesla included) do have auto-dim headlights
My parents just bought a Peugeot 308 (hardly a high-end car, roughly Golf-level), and that has fully automatic headlights (including auto dimming), rear and 360 degree cameras with GTA-style overhead view, lane keeping that nudges you back if you stray across the lines and a whole host of other fancy gadgetry.
And that's a perfectly ordinary mid-priced family hatchback.
If anything, they should work on augmenting the existing mirrors. Keep the mirrored surface that always works, no power required, but add various indicators to it. It's trivial to project an LCD through a mirrored surface, lots of vehicles have that for their rear cameras in the rear view mirror. Augment instead of replace.
Of course, we already have pretty good examples of this, with blind spot indicators and such.
Making a collaborative project work requires people to be relatively civil and professional in their communication, and to not bring personal attacks and other nonsense into it.
Unfortunately, it is quite obvious that Slashdot is now full of reactionary alt-right assholes who get horribly offended when they're asked to play nice and be professional.
The commenting culture on this site has significantly worsened over that last couple of years.
The comedy thing is that this code of conduct itself reinforces systemic oppression of neurodiverse (autistic) people by putting in place rules they can not possibly follow.
How would autism make it impossible for people to follow a simple set of guidelines, that pretty much all sum up to "treat other people with respect"?

I would also classify an unreasonable obsession with firearms as a mental illness.

That's because LCHF is silly and long-term unhealthy.
By all means, cut out the shit carbs, the sugars and ultraprocessed grains. But keep whole grains, they're good for you.
Ultra-refined and processed carbs are bad. Wholegrain bread (preferably full of seeds and kernels) is good for you. It's all about quality.

Or if it's a full-CGI movie, Pixar-style.
The Apple Homepod is probably the best "technical" speaker, but even that I don't want.
AirPlay only, no line-in, no bluetooth, no thanks.
They're all compromised in sound quality, in order to be small and have a bunch of spyware electronics in them.
I'll stick with my studio monitors+subwoofers, thank you very much. And a decent quality "dumb" bluetooth speaker for the kitchen and garden.
You don't matter.
At least not to the people making the "cheap/expensive dross" movies. They're making tons of money, and the fans love the movies.
And stop trying to act superior, it never works.
The very fact that you name a single person by name should tell you something about just how rare that is.

Oh dear, is someone forcing you to watch these movies?
It's escapism, a break from the mundane. It doesn't have to be realistic or have a complex plot. It just has to be fun.
Again with the ridiculous strawmen.
Neither of situations would happen in real life, on actual project mailing lists.

They're not even actually bullying them back, they're just going "hey, act nice. No bullying."
No you don't and no you didn't.
Making a collaborative project work requires people to be relatively civil and professional in their communication, and to not bring personal attacks and other nonsense into it.
This code of conduct simply codifies that.
Coding and working on tools does not and should not require everyone to have the same morals or creed.
No, of course not. But it is perfectly fine to ask people to be civil and professional in their communication.

Yes, you've rattled off a list of tyrannical despots, well done.
Meanwhile, socialism is a big part of what makes northern European countries some of the best places in the world to live, by all relevant metrics.
