I worked in the US for a few years. I was surprised to find that most Americans manage to die of something else besides gunshots. Most worry a lot more about getting sick and their craap medical insurance....if any. Guns in the hands of crazies worries - are way down the list. Hell, if we had guns here in the same proportion...I think our murder rate would be about the same - if not worse.
Gun control laws....excellent idea...maybe they'll finally legislate there...
