(1,884 posts)We foster a free wheeling gun climate in this country and spend hundreds of billions of dollars in other countries to make terrorists and then wonder why we have routine mass murders in this country? Nobody should be wondering.
Only 30 to 35 percent of the people in this country own firearms. Yet there are many more firearms than people in this country. The biggest problem are hand guns and being allow to carry in public. The second biggest problem are the military looking knock-offs, too many use to get their testosterone fix.
So, the problem is two fold. One, too many guns in the hands of too many people that should not be having them in the first place, and two - Too many guns floating around.
Fix those two items and watch out firearm death plummet.
