I'm a member of the American public. I abide by the rules, make smart choices, and don't tolerate those who don't. All my friends are the same way.
Less than 1% of American gun owners commit 100% of gun violence in the US.
Over half of Americans read at a 6th grade level. The culture promotes violence and individualism. You think this populace deserves easily accessible guns? People can turn at any moment due to mental health issues or resort to criminal activity.
And we are getting less educated not more.
