  1. Speaking as an outsider, there's obviously a lot more going on, and I think both sides are being disingenuous. Australia tightened control, and did gun buybacks, and saw a big drop in violent crime, and got the same result, Canada is currently trying to ban more weapons, but is seeing an increase in violent crime despite it. My suspicion is that the actual gun policies have very little effect in either direction. What actually has an effect is societal change, cultural impact. This is why I don't think that new gun laws are going to solve anything in the US, but neither do I think getting more guns into the population will solve it either. What's needed to make a change is a change of attitudes, and a change of culture, and changing gun laws doesn't accomplish that.
