For me, I don't want a society where problems are solved with a gun, I want the underlying reasons behind criminal behavior to be found and treated. A person does not commit violent acts for no reason and we should find the cultural, social, and psychological reasons behind the acts and eliminate them. A normal person doesn't commit acts of violence, just as someone who doesn't want for anything won't commit theft.
We need education, welfare, and healthcare, not guns and death. I don't care if that means paying a little bit extra taxes, its better then people dying.

I wish more people would have your sense of reason. Some lines written down in this thread are... somewhat agitating.
When I see
'Murricans talk about
"chains of oppression" only because a well-going, civilized foreign country has strict gun laws - and nearly no deaths a year related to guns - I really start to lose faith in humani... America.
But the same kind of 'Murricans would probably tell me,
again, to keep out of Murrica's business...
