You're absolutely correct.The amount of guns in circulation in the States could never be controlled by new laws.The gun culture needs to change before anything else.I have a friend who lives in Milwaukee.He has a permit to carry a "concealed weapon"and he never leaves home without his gun.When he goes out it's, keys, wallet, gun.Even if he is just going shopping, he'll wear his S+W .357.He bought his son his first rifle, a Ruger 10/22 for his 6th birthday, and they often go to Father and Son weekend shoots where they fire fully automatic weapons.(machine guns) They need to change this culture first before they have a hope of reducing the number of weapons in circulation.I own and use firearms in this country, and the culture amongst shooters here is entirely different.Everything here revolves around safety, and that's the way it has to be.And that is why we have some of the strictest firearms laws in the world. |
