The U.S. has plenty of "gun control laws." The U.S. has a whole federal law enforcement agency, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, that enforces firearms laws. The problem is that they are not enforced and by not enforced I mean not prosecuted.
There is a county that borders my county that allows convicted felons arrested for Felon in Possession of a Firearm to plead out to a misdemeanor Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon and do 90 days in jail, time served. What should be sending these criminals to prison for 10 years is allowing them to do 90 days in the county and walk. How will more laws help?
One of the big problem the U.S. justice system has is activist State's District/Prosecuting Attorney's Offices. The same District Attorney's Office I mentioned refuses to prosecute people arrested for Theft if the amount is under $750.00 and consist of necessities. You can literally walk into a grocery store, steal $200.00 of steaks, and be arrested only to be released from jail because the District Attorney refuses the charges.
I am tired of all the senseless killing in violence. Firearms are deeply engrained into American culture. Part of that is because Americans object to the government having a monopoly on firearms.
Personally I wouldn't mind going back to the way it was when the U.S. first because a nation. Everyone who wanted a firearm carried and was required to train competently to be able to be of service to their community. Those who did not want to do this could alternatively pay for training ammunition for those who did.
