The main problem I see is the "free flow" of legal and ilegal guns for citizens. In Japan, a disarmed society, the amount of deaths by gunfire are almost nil. They also have a really tight gun control, which arguably it's easy since it's a "small-ish" island.
Of course there are many more reasons, and I think that America's youth thinking of "gangster's are cool" is way off. Hech, in Japan even a knife stabbing reaches all newspapers and makes a big fuss.
But doing that in USA would make the economy slightly worse and "cut their freedom": tighter border control on imports, regulating the shit that is on TV, better education, etc.
- rtpg 10y agoAmericans are also major gun manufacturers. If guns became illegal the supply would get a lot lower.
- nojvek 10y agoSometimes I wonder "is America too big to get anything done for its citizens". It seems they are equally opposite views for any law. Plus lobbying means big companies will usually win over citizens. Healthcare is insanely expensive, universities put you in endless debt, police killing more people than terrorists with guns. Would the solution be for the states to have more power? I.e implement the policies state by state? Just the way LGBT marriage and cannabis laws are propagating?
