I'm sure you remember it, you're old enough to have been there.

When the founding Fathers passed the Constitution you were under threat on so many levels. From invasion, Indians and Mexicans who occupied lands you wanted to steal, then the threat of bears, mountain lions, snakes, etc. The main occupation was on the land. You've now stolen that land, have the most powerful armed forces in the world and few work the land and most wildlife is in the wilderness.
Today you have a real problem with the power of guns available to the public. Armour piecing bullets, enlarged magazines, guns far to powerful for a normal parson to own and no restrictions on who owns them. Plus it's a fact that America has an epidemic of people losing control and committing mass killings before committing suicide.
Why don't you want further restrictions on the guns people can own to reduce one specific American problem?
