I watched a program on TV last night called 'lethal attraction'. It was about guns in America. The presenter was British (Ross Kemp) and he was asking the American people if they thought their gun laws were too relaxed, none of them said yes. I actually agreed with the things they were saying about why they should be allowed to carry guns. One man said "It's better to have a gun and never need it than to be in a situation where you need a gun but don't have one". Another man (from Texas) said that it's more peaceful where he lives because people own guns, there is less chance of people messing with each other because they know the consequences. I agree with this. You'd have to be crazy to break into someone's house or mug them in the street in America, especially Texas. Making gun laws more strict in America would be the dumbest thing ever. All that would do is dismarm law abiding citizens leaving them defensless against rapists/theives/murderers and leave criminals still armed and dangerous. Do you think criminals would hand their guns in to one of those amnesty things? Not likely. Guns are a huge part of America, it's part of their culture and it will never change.
And you can't really compare gun laws in America to the laws in Britain. They're two totally different places. Gun control works in Britian. Yes there are guns on the street but they're not all over the place and shootings are mostly gang/drug related. I've never even seen a real gun and I don't know anyone who has. The nearest shootings to where I live occur in the outskirts of the large city I live near, which is about 10 - 15 miles away.
