"WE".......need to be more responsible and to ensure our kids are as safe as possible, if this means getting rid of guns, then do it.
In Au, guns of any description have been banned for years unless you have a valid reason Licensed hunter, law enforcement) hand guns are almost impossible to get hold of.......unless you are a criminal of course. These laws have reduced gun crime here to almost nil but we will never stamp it out entirely even though the punishment for having an illegal firearm or parts or ammo is jail.
We got sick of our children drowning in backyard pools so all pools now must have a childproof fence around it, this has reduced but not eliminated drownings due to people leaving pool gates open or country children drowning in dams or creeks but it certainly helps.
Dangerous chemicals including the garden variety are to be kept in locked containers, this also helps but has not prevented deaths due to curious kids or chemicals such a Crystal meth which is starting to be a big concern here.
Every country is different, no one is right and no one is wrong but we must all take responsibility.
