Opinions on the role of guns

Although there are various oppinions towards guns, I believe that the majority of the people, both in Japan and America would oppose citizens to hold guns.

 

One man named Dan Gross claimed that what's important is to keep all guns away from certain people, not to keep certain guns away from all people.(https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gross_why_gun_violence_can_t_be_our_new_normal/transcript?language=en)

 

He also mentioned about the Brady background check, that 90% of Americans support expanding Brady background checks to all gun sales; including 90% of Republicans, more than 80% of gun owners, more than 70% of NRA members.

 

There were also oppinions from USA Today, that there wouldn't be any gun control laws that would prevent evil people from enacting their plans.

As you can see, the American gun control laws are strongly opposed by the citizens, and the problem may not be something that people call contravercial.

  1. I don't think the conclusion you came to in this posting is borne out by the facts. There is a vocal minority in America that opposes even commonsense solutions (such as not letting suspected terrorists buy guns) to the gun violence problem in America, but most Americans--even NRA members--support stricter background checks and laws that ensure that gun buyers know basic gun safety procedures.
