Reply #128: ok, but all that points to the greater NEED for gun control in the U.S....

I mean, all of those circumstances undoubtedly contribute to gun violence in America, but how does that argue that we should continue to make guns available to nearly anyone who wants one? The only truly meaningful gun ownership filter in this country is economic-- some people can't afford guns. Most can, and America is saturated with deadly weapons.

Besides, every one of those countries has drug, social justice inequity, and culture problems, too.
