Fucking Americans (i am american).
I will say this, it is very clear that there needs to be better measures to prevent crime from happening. Simply limiting gun ownership will not stop deaths or tragedy, especially in this culture.
It should also be pointed out that there is no "left" or "right" in american politics. Gun ownership is something that will not change drastically, although Obama is trying to push through an assault weapons ban, and the U.N. has a small arms treaty in the works. One day americans may actually see a ban on weapons, and then there will surely be a vacuum. I'm curious how many people that are anti-gun have been to more terrifying places where illegal gun violence is standard, or been to war. It's easy to sit and make accusations and predictions (as i am doing), it's another to be part of a solution.
