So we shouldn't examine or consider policies of other nations? Seems pretty close-minded.
But, yes, we're off the chart in ownership and deaths. I don't believe the concept of widespread gun ownership and reasonable controls are mutually-exclusive concepts.
My mantra has been consistent and simple:
1. Ban assault style weapons
2. Ban high capacity magazines
3. Ban bump stocks
Yes, you can make the argument, "oh there's this weapon or that weapon which could be used just as deadly as an assault style weapon." Well that just doesn't hold any water since the majority of these recent mass murders are being effectuated by AR15 style weapons.
This weapon has no rightful place for civilian use.
Those three points are rational and reasonable. I believe all 3 of those will be accomplished in the next year or so.
You will get all of the usual responses, but brighter minds will prevail. It's unfortunate that we couldn't lead and could only react to the voices of youth.
The youth of America are just shaking their heads in disgust and disbelief at what we have allowed.

Children are the only people more naive than the anti-gun crowd, and that's why the gun grabbers love to manipulate children to advance their agenda.
These people want to ban something that they can't even define. Might as well ban unicorns.
I'd assume it includes deaths by those who aren't legally allowed to own a firearm as it is.
I'd sure love to know what that number would look like when you take illegal firearms out of the mix.
I've already defined it. Any gun that will fire more than x rounds per y seconds. We just need to assign some reasonable and rational numbers to x and y.
I'll start. 1000 rounds per second is to much and one round per hour is to few. Now all we have to do is work inward to agreement.
Yeah, take away that and suicides and I'm thinking the USA would be a little harder to find on that chart.

Maybe the boycott and student walkouts and marches are turning the tide.
