Thank you for your comment.
Americans love their guns, all of them. I for one don't think stricter gun control will help at all, and is likely to bring out the worst in some of our population, left and right. The problem is not so simple. We already have far too many laws restricting the rights of regular people.
Canadians don't have to hear about their government murdering people on several continents every single day for no good reason. I really think this is a big factor in the problem. It's a "like father like son" effect.
