Fair enough. I agree with pretty much everything you said. The US has been too worried about problems beyond its borders for the past few years that the problems at home dragged behind and are now catching up in a big and scary way.
And I agree that first and foremost you need a government that is, at least a tiny bit, willing to agree with people on the other side.
For the record, I have no problem with people owning guns for the purposes of hunting and what not. I see no reason why an ordinary citizen would need an automatic assault rifle though.
