30-34% of adults own a gun. That sounds a lot from a european's perspective

But legal guns are much better than illegal ones

And I'm sure making guns illegal will keep those already-illegal ones off the street too.

Just lock up all the mentally unstable people instead of let them sit there plotting their revenge on normal people

(I kid, I kid...but they are the root cause of the problem and we do need to do something to reach out to them and help them get better. Taking guns away is not going to solve anything)

Had a friend who is a doctor, the other day in the ER they brought in a guy who cut his face up like the joker and had pink spots in his hair. I told my friend to just send the patient to the psych ward instead before he goes on some spree. its ignoring signs like this that causes shit to hit the fan later. tired of these retards.

Perhaps that's the reason your homicide rate is as low as it is? Not because of legislation?

That's my point there, lil fella. We have far less legislation than DC, and 1/20th the murders.
