I live in Australia. Here guns are pretty much banned unless you
are a farmer. From this perspective I can say that the anti-gun
control people do have a very good point.

We've now had tight gun control in Australia for maybe 10 years.
Over this time the hand-gun crime has gone up a great deal.
Criminals now have less trouble getting guns as the black market
has flouristed with the removal of legal licenced guns from the
market. (There was a marketing campaigne on this point by the
NRA recently, I must say they blew our statistics way up. The
problem here isn't quite as large as the NRA suggests, but it does
exist and illegal guns are much easier to get.)

Also we are on the doorstep of asian with an under resourced
and under manned military without adaquate defences for our
north. Now that most of our guns have been destroyed anyone
with a brain can see that we are less able to defend our country.

It's a hard one.

I'd say in America the problem isn't so much the amount of guns
but the violent culture. Most places in the world would rather see
Jannets naked breat then a murder. I'm sure if she was a
gangsta rapper and had a bunch of girls with prop M16s then
there wouldn't be a problem.

I remember someone posting a pic of a Euro girl walking naked
down the street and a lot of people from the US were
screaming "Kids could see!!!" however these same people
wouldn't have a problem with their kids watching Terminator.

Having guns does mean that sooner or later someone gets hurt
by them. However having a culture that says it's more sexy to kill
then to strip is probably a much larger part of the problem.
