Existing US gun control laws have been mentioned several times on this thread.
Could someone summarise for me what the current laws are? Are they federal laws, or does each state set their own laws?
I agree that this area is one in which there is a huge cultural divide between the UK and the US. Which means it's a mistake on either side of the Atlantic to think that what works for one country(whether more control or less) must also work for the other country.
