Gun ownership has nothing to od with it. It is the mentality of people that have guns. IN canada, there is gun control, yes, but so far, there is one gun for every three residents in canada (far from the 8 in 10 for the US), but the mentality is much different. I have not met a single canadian who does not make fun of americans for their love of guns. Some americans think that with more guns people will be less reluctant to commit crimes, this is false, if we give everyone a gun, this will facilitate the commiting of crimes, and I think the US crime rate is indicitive of that. The best solution is to remove concealed carry(with the exception of maybe..maybe bodygurads), be more strict about who can get a firearm(require throurough backround checks for everyone applying), make owning a gun a privilege, not a right(i.e. repeal the second ammendment), and do a tobacco-style awareness campaign. It wont get rid of the problem overnight, but in due time it will run its course
