The problem with violence in the US is not a gun problem, but rather a cultural problem. Guns are simply the most effective way to express yourself positively or negatively. But the gun is just the tool, not the root problem. The root problem is opting for violence to solve problems. While there are many causes for this choice of violence, trying to fix it by outlawing guns is not one of the solutions. People will still opt to be violent and simply use whatever tools remain options. So to make a dent on our problem with violence, we have to address the root cause, not the symptom. That'd be like trying to cure a disease by treating the symptoms (how it works in the US in medicine too, treat the symptoms, not the condition or prevent the condition in the first place.)
So how do we prevent violence? Quit glorifying it. Quit supporting government policies and politicians authorizing use of military force around the world for every little disagreement. Quit accepting violence as a legitimate form of entertainment as with violent movies and videogames. Quit screwing around with food to maximize pleasure of eating if in doing so food becomes unhealthy. An unhealthy person is more prone to violent acting out much as a wounded animal is. Quit trying to suppress natural drives for pleasure and sex since an animal deprived of such pleasures will ALWAYS become more violent and self-destructive.
And for the love of God, quit trying to ban firearms so we have less firearms-related violence. Weapons bans only prevent law-abidding citizens from defending themselves against criminals who don't abide by those bans in the first place.
