Point Washington Shooters Amongst Us

[Bob]

Among developed nations, the United States has above-average levels of violent crime and particularly high levels of gun violence and homicide.[232] There were 4.7 murders per 100,000 persons in 2011, 14.5% fewer than in 2000 (5.5), and 19.0% fewer since a recent peak of 5.8 in 2006.[233][234] Gun ownership rights are the subject of contentious political debate.

http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/31/news/companies/walmart-gun-ammunition/ By any measure, there are too many guns in our society, and far too much gun violence. The first wave of gun and ammo buying happened when Obama was first elected. We are in the midst of another ammo/assualt rifle buying frenzy. This issue has reached critical mass, and is beyond debate for those who can easily see high cap/high rate of fire ammo/weapons are best put in a highly restricted class of weaponry as machine guns are currently regulated.

The diabolically ironic and frightening aspect of this problem is that it will only get worse the more it is debated in the media. Paranoia will increase. Gun sales will increase. Craziness will increase. This is a problem that can only be changed by a profound change in the mindset of our whole society.
