[quote=spdrun]Because the problem is the culture of solving problems with guns, not the guns themselves. Many European countries have 40-50% the gun ownership rate of the US, yet the number of gun crimes is MUCH lower than 40-50% of the US level. The problem isn’t the guns, it’s idiots’ and psychopaths’ extreme willingness to use them.[/quote]
Spdrun: On this, we completely agree and your point is a valid one. However, as you also stated, how does one go about doing that?
America is “Gunfighter Nation”. It’s woven into our DNA. I’m not saying that it isn’t worth trying, but how?
Even if every poster on this thread were to simultaneously agree that an outright ban is the best option moving forward, there are 300 million guns in the US. So, now what?
