The problem with not being an American is, that I really am not able to understand the reasoning behind the arguments in disfavor of stronger gun control.
Just looking at empirical numbers (and not taking cultural heritage into account), one might see a strong correlation between number of people killed by guns and the easy with witch guns can be obtained.
I know, guns don't kill people, people kill people. But wouldn't it be better, if it people didn't find it that easy to obtain instruments, that enable them to easily kill a lot of people. If one would have to strangle or stab every intended victim it just might be a lot easier to subdue some perp.
Being an European, I really cant get my head around this. By the way - the same for me applies here in Germany, when gun-fans are in a shooting association, have their guns at home and their kids take these weapons to run amok.
OK, there are a lot less guns in private homes here, but non the less more than enough to be a potential problem. But the shooting association lobby here is just as strong, not as outgoing, but just as strong, when it comes to preventing laws they dislike.
Oftentimes with the same arguments, used by the NRA.
