Ok, my point here is that if you strictly compare the amount of crime that is gun-related and takes place in the USA to the violent crime that is commited in England, you'll find the the only real difference is the size of the two nations (just an example, it could have been France,Italy, Spain, Germany etc etc). The suggestion of joining an activist group is more practical than simply writing letters, and that is because it implies that some sort of pressurizing campaign is taking place. The next problem that arises is if such campaigns are consistent, numerous and truly influential in the course of law-making that will lead to more strict gun ownership regulations. After more than 5 such examples of mass shootings, it is perfectly normal to see these activist groups as ineffective. What does this tell us? That there aren't enough incidents (and victims) to seriously ban private ownership of guns alltogether. It also poses the problem of banning an instrument of death when you are in a war situation that uses more potent machines of mass destruction to annihiliate its enemies. How are you going to eliminate the thought of violence ,when the very same example that is shown on the news is that of a country that uses violence when rationality runs short?
