Which is why it baffles me why so many come on here throwing ridicule and criticism at the USA over the amount of gun ownership that Americans have. An accross the board ban simply isn't going to happen, America in general simply won't have it, so why not have everyone just shut up about it?

I don't think anyone's saying there isn't a problem, but disarming the entire US civilian non-criminal population is never going to be the answer no matter how much people (mostly foreigners) squawk about it.
