DFF, is that you?
While there is much to dislike about generalities, the attitudes of many american posters in this thread illustrate one of the reasons those generalities exist. There is a fundamental reticence in American culture to deal with gun crime by limiting the access to firearms.
It's just that simple. Most of the Americans in this thread will not entertain/get on board that the access to firearms needs to be restricted. What else is there to say?
