And I'm back to "America has a political problem," given that the overwhelming majority of Americans want stricter gun controls, but the appropriate legislation is consistently blocked by the minority who don't want any gun controls.
Obviously that political problem has an impact on many other situations besides gun control. But the point is that if the majority could get its way, gun safety would be significantly improved, and some of the awful statistics would be reduced. So I'm back to "America has a people problem."
