There is no single "thing" to change to undo almost 300 years of "the government can't take my guns"... something the rest of the world doesn't understand and something i think is absurd... but that is 100% unrelated to the problems with guns.

The problems with guns in the USA is not coming from redneck, hillbilly jack offs like my relatives with their pickup trucks and confederate flags. The problem is largely in inner cities and usually gang related and has far more to do with a breakdown of culture in some ethnic groups and nothing to do with "gun culture"


Anyone can watch this video and easily understand why every interaction with a person or suspect can be deadly.

I already said that the gun culture is a broader concept than just having guns around. However, I can be more specific; shooting own people culture. Although as US is only loosely a nation; it brings the question that whose are the "own people". I think that this is one of the main issues. Shooting each other doesn't make this any better as you can see from Balkan region, or from Middle-East.
