Guns, what sort of response
I'm wondering what the forum response would be to my suggestion that the US tighten up their gun laws, specifically, banning the general possession of hand guns. It seems to me that you guys are losing too many good people of all races?
The only hand guns we have in our society these days belong to the law enforcers, and of course the criminals,don't know how we fix that one, although the criminals seem to mainly bump each other off.
Feel free to leave a comment, I'm interested to understand how entrenched gun ownership is, and what it takes to do something about all these deaths!

Don't be to hard on the guy
Maybe he would be happier if those killed were just thrown out of windows instead of being shot. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. The USA has 20,000 gun laws on the books. None of which stop people from killing people.
One reason if you look back at world war 2, the only reason the Japanese didn't attack the US mainland was because they knew Americans all had guns. And if they relaxed the gun laws in Chicago and everyone was armed you would see the murder rate drop by a very large amount.
Nuremberg Trials & New Orleans
Food for thought. The US anti-gun laws took its queue from Nazi Germany and the subsequent Nuremberg Trials. Hitler thought gun registration, gun control and gun bans was a great idea and it worked well for him.
When you have gun registration, you know where to confiscate them from (just like what happened in New Orleans during Katrina when the law abiding citizens needed their guns the most). If you think it can't happen in the US, it already has. Something to ponder for the next proposed gun restriction initiatives.
