On a serious note - sadly, this is always going to happen in a culture where guns are freely available. I love America and have very fond memories of the beautiful country and its marvellous people. However, I really do wish they (whoever "they" are) stand up to the NRA and bring an end to this nonsense. There may be uproar, there may be political "casualties" but please, for the sake of your great nation, pursue responsible gun laws that not only question the legitimisation of the registration of a gun but also educate the population that owning a gun is not a given right to aid protection but merely a tool for those who intend to do harm.
