    I disagree and think the core problem of too many guns could be solved the same way other Anglophone nations did it.

    However, your argument was very well written, and I appreciate both its intention and its focus on the human.

      I’m open to a solution, but it’s unrealistic to expect Americans to give/sell back enough of their guns for it to work like it did in Australia.

      We have A LOT more guns here, and each one lasts 100 years or more. We could give up 99% of them (we wouldn’t though) and there would still be like 6 million guns here.

        Demanding people give up their guns would just cause an open civil war. The solution that worked in other countries wouldn’t work here because the ideology is different.
