This is in addition to a government that spies on their own people and ignores their own people's cry to stop going to war all the time.
Gun control is just one of many issues that country faces, and I'm nervous to see how it will be in 50 years when I'm about to kick the bucket.

Are all the mirrors in your home broken?
Reading between the lines though I think you bring up a good point and you're right. There are many issues that all countries face. Trying to bring gun control to the States should be near the bottom of the list right now.
