It's a double edged sword. Guns are as American as apple pie and guns are here to stay from what I can see. I own many guns and would not give them up if ordered to do so.
On the other hand, sure, the more guns you have in the population, the more people will be killed by them as opposed to a country with strict gun laws. Simple mathematics. The problem as I see it is the deterioration of family values in the U.S. and lack of treatment for mental health. They emptied the mental hospitals in the early seventies. Now those people roam the streets or are in prison. And most will eventually get out. So I don't really see a solution. I can only see it getting worse.
That being said, they can have my guns. When they pry them from my cold, dead hands.
IIN to think people should stop blaming guns?
