12. Canadians have lots of guns
The Swiss have the most guns per capita than anyone else, even us.

Our problem isn't guns. Our problem is that our culture creates right wing nutjobs who shoot up schools, banks, parks, police, etc. We need to figure out what it is that causes THAT, and fix that. otherwise the nutjobs will always find a way to get other guns.

I guess what I'm saying is that we could make assault weapons illegal, handguns illegal, have strict requirements on gun ownership, and safety ones, and people would still get those guns illegally and shoot up a church.

We need to address the cause not the symptom, imho.

But yeah nobody needs an AK-47, military fully auto, or otherwise.
