You are right sleep - it is that simple - so lets press the magic button that makes all guns go away and we will all live happily ever after .

Sorry for the sarcasm - it is not intended to offend - to just point out that a simple solution to gun violence in the US is not simple - as I am sure you are quite aware . I probably should start another thread about this - but I wanted to discuss the growing violence of our culture and the influence of violent entertainment in the form of TV, movies, and - yes - games. While it is true that tighter gun control regulations would help to keep some guns away from the criminals - these regulations address a symptom and not the problem.

To steal the only coherent quote that Charlton Heston has uttered in the last twenty years - "guns don't kill people - people kill people". The proliferation of violence in all aspects of our culture over the past 20 or 30 years has led us to the current situation - where do we go from here - and how do we halt this cycle of violence?
