Thanked: 1587I don't think taking away guns would fix the problem - I just don't think throwing more guns at it will.
I think the key is control. Glen mentioned it in another thread - he is a responsible gun owner and locks up his guns and ammunition (presumably in different places), is well-trained in their use and care, and takes the ownership of such potentially lethal instruments extremely seriously.
If you must have a country with a constitutionally ingrained "right" to bear arms, you should also take just as seriously the "responsibilities" that go along with such rights. I believe those responsibilities are enacted on an individual basis (eg Glen), but from what I can see there is a lot of scope left on a population basis for this kind of control to be implemented.
