Heaven forfend that Barry should read the article at the link I posted, which reports on a recent Gallup survey showing that large majorities of Americans are in favor of various approaches to gun control.
What Americans have is a political problem in which minorities and special interest groups like the NRA are able to block the majority's strong preference for gun control. That's ultimately also a "people problem" in that we let things get to this infuriating state of affairs. But it's not a "people problem" in terms of everyone wanting guns to be uncontrolled, as Barry seems to believe. Americans really *do* have a "people problem" that is larger than its gun problem
