Funny how the countries with high gun ownership don't have rampant murder. Israel and Switzerland anyone?
America doesn't have a gun problem, we have a culture problem.
Also s good point. I feel like that adds to mine actually. Considering the severe lack of education, mental health support, etc. in the US, the solution isn't to add more guns then. Gun ownership increases safety when everyone is responsible (like Switzerland) but decreases it when everyone is not (like the US).
Maybe Switzerland and Israel aren't the best examples. Switzerland has mandatory military service and by extension firearm familiarity training. Israel is...well Israel.
