"Perhaps if your country was not awash with firearms..."
HA!
But America *'is' awash in firearms, Dana.
The only solution that might come close to ending that flood is confiscation of every weapon (and corresponding ammo), from every person.
Simply banning guns and ammo will not work.
Imagine: tomorrow, all guns in America are banned by way of law directing every one to deliver all weapons and ammo to local law enforcers.
No criminal will abide.
Many law abiders will not abide (converting them into criminals in a single stroke).
No, total confiscation is the only answer and that will be a long, bloody, expensive process with no guarantee of success.
Reality: Pandora's Armory opened for business ages ago and all the debbil guns flew out...you'll never be rid of 'em (or the folks who'd use 'em to do nasty things).
*a wonderful word, 'is'...(what) 'is' always trumps wishes and fishes...sure, (what) 'should' (be) is a grand starting place for reformations, but too grand a vision inevitably leads to failure...again: Pandora's Armory opened for business ages ago...it is what it 'is'.
