Just like to say I did not vote as I know too little about US gun laws to say one way or another. Does the USA have a problem? Yea, more so than other countries. What you can do about is a little unclear.

I have one point, opinion, which might not be liked> I hate guns. My family was touched by "guns" and suffer a lot. My opinion is, automatic, not automatic it is to easy tool to kill, attack others, end someone else life. I know many people say and used gun to defense their life, but it is nothing to compare to how many life's, families were destroyed by "explosive powder" in the bullet. Sorry as i had to add my two cents after listening to radio about Aurora tragedy and some others...
I'm not going to vote because it is your problem. Imho there is no easy solution or no solution at all.
As long as you think that using a hand gun is an only and best method to get rid of problems, then the problem will go on. No matter if everyone or nobody owned a gun. As long as killing is ok and primary method, then the killing will go on, imho. No matter the amount of guns.
As my friend Mr Lucifer always tells me, you guys in the U.S should have the right to own any kind of weapon you want without govt interference. Of course you need to be willing to pay the price for that freedom and that price is that so many folks will be slaughtered by bad guys or kill themselves or have accidents and thefts and all that and you just accept that fact and move on. Of course he also tells me that's where he comes in. He gets many customers through all this. I don't know if he's joking or not.
The countries with the highest levels of violence (all sources and weapons) also have the most repressive gun laws (especially the top 2). The U.S. is not in the top 10.
Looks to me like more guns in the home and carried on the street, by non-criminals, = less crime.
