    For those not in the US, this (short) video sheds some light on the problems the US has with tackling the gun problem.

    • gun increase was a direct result of indirect policy murmuring about gun control and speculation on how far some people might try to take it

    • lol, at science part. stats are pretty accurate to debunk his position.yurimon
    • iI it acceptable that the US can't stop known terrorists and sympathisers buying guns?Morning_star

      ********
    • nether can france where its highly illegal, i accept that also.yurimon
    • Did he mention the effects of the internet and social media have on incentivizing mass shootings? Our culture is kind of fucked in that sense
      ********
    • ^ id sum up in values but the brain does changes with certain behavior like you mentioned. also mental drugs.yurimon
    • I've waded into the gun debate before when I haven't really understood a lot of the dynamics peculiar to the US. However, do you, especially pro gun..Morning_star
    • ...supports think that there is a problem?Morning_star
    • as a nra member i can say with full confidence that there is a huge problem and definite steps that need to be taken
      ********
    • if you curb gang violence thats 80-90 percent of the problem gone right there.yurimon
    • has very little to do with the single shooter mass death occurrences but yea, the vast majority of gin homicide is gang violence. and don't bring up suicides
      ********
    • they are hardly relevant in a gun controll discussion
      ********
    • If the conversation refers to the recent florida incident. i dont think single shooter rules apply. i see it as unconventional war tactics.yurimon
    • well the fbi knew about him and yet he managed to get a job carrying a weapon, seems like that could have been avoided with a little fbi intervention
      ********
    • considering you have to go through the fbi to get your fid card in the first place. . .
      ********
    • You chaps are wrong about gang violence. More info here. https://www.reddit.c…Morning_star
    • don't know about gangs but if you allowed suicide as a service you could drop gun deaths by 60%
      ********
    • no "gun problem" where Im at or even in general too me, but that is a very broad and open to interpretation question, which is probably the #1 problem with gun
      ********
    • discussions. far too many generalized perspectives that aren't understood by opposing parties.
      ********
    • this guy still has good discussion if you care, https://www.youtube.…yurimon
