Gun laws in the US are fucked up. When will you learn America?

Wouldn't make a difference. Just about anything can be used to kill a person. It's easier to track down a killer who used a gun. He could of used something worse.

Yet gun-related deaths are much higher in the US than any European country. Overall murder rates are also higher in the USA than continental Europe and Great Britain.

In my country Brussels has a big problem with illegal weapons and it nearly cost the life of many people on a Thalys train to Paris (attack was stopped by 3 American tourists and a British person though). So yes, better laws against guns (and the enforcement of said laws) could save many potential lives. The weapon industry has too much influence in the USA and also Belgium (weapon export is one of the most important economical sectors here).
