The US is split on guns. It's not in favor for guns or against guns, but has 2 counter cultures butting heads on the issue. Doing so to the point that no solution can proceed because the other group opposes that direction of action.

That's the main issue. Not the pro gun stance, or the anti gun stance, but that because of both of the group's no action to fix the proplem is made.

Here's a possible solution that I hope will happen some day soon through.

Ban military grade guns from being sold and in the public. There is no reason for a person for self defense, or for protecting their land away from the cities, to have anything of a military grade weapon.

"Ban military grade guns from being sold and in the public. There is no reason for a person for self defense, or for protecting their land away from the cities, to have anything of a military grade weapon."

What do you mean by military grade weapons.

What would you do about sporting firearms that are adopted by the military because they are superior to military weapons?

Belly,

Guns in the USA,
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/10/05/guns-in-the-united-states-one-for-every-man-woman-and-child-and-then-some/

Falling crime rates in the USA,
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/03/5-facts-about-crime-in-the-u-s/

Guns in Australia,
http://theconversation.com/australias-gun-numbers-climb-men-who-own-several-buy-more-than-ever-before-58142

Falling crime rates in Australia,
http://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/gun-control-australia-updated/

So there you have it, in both countries, the number of firearms in public hands has increased and the crime rates have gone down, indisputable proof that more guns mean less crime, and a direct contradiction of the gun control activists mantra that more guns mean more crime.

Has been,
it is not brain washing, its just common sense,

look how smoking rates have come down, by a combination of high taxes and education (TV ads)

Our road toll has come down by TV ads saying slow down and wear seat belts

Our domestic violence rates have come down due to ads on TV saying it is not OK to bash your wife

So, why cant we have an education program on the benefits of not having a gun.

By all means if you want to have a gun, have one, but be educated on the safety of having one, the cost and the consequences of accidents

Americans will always have guns, but I don't like seeing everyday another mass shooting in the USA and the government making weak excuses (he was a loner, his mummy didn't take him to the zoo, a girl laughed at him, his employer sacked him for being lazy, he wanted his 15 minutes of fame, all weak excuses) and no Answers to the growing problem
