Im not saying rap isnt an influence but its the person not a song, not a gun, not a video game, not a movie. Millions of people walk around playing violent games, listening to rap, own guns and do nothing.

Taking legal guns off the streets would not prevent this. For any posters saying that, you are naive and do not understand that some people really don't care about laws.
