You are way too into the conspiracy side of this, pressfortruth. I live in Canada - where we have WAAAAY stricter gun control laws than in the US, WAAAAAY less shootings per capita...and yet, i assure you, there are still plenty of guns here to go around...nobody here feels 'disarmed'. I can still go and get a long-gun with a firearms licence & no notice and a handgun with a small amount of extra work....I just can't get a full-blown assault-style weapon as a civilian average joe. And that's just fine. Call me crazy, but maybe the solution isn't more guns.
