I dont think our(the u.s) insane gun related crime rate has much to do with how easy it is to get a gun legally. I think the real problem is how easy it is to get one unregestered. I don't have any hard statistics but arn't the guns in murders generally unregistered? I think thats something that really needs to be cracked down on.

The second reason is our gang culture, which is diffrent than the gang culture anywere else in the world. I mean in L.A people get shot for graffiting on another gangs "turf" its just insane.

The media's not to blame, neither is the nra, the guy who sells stolen guns and the gangs are.

The phenomenon is self-perpetuating:

The more gun crime you are exposed to, the less unthinkable it becomes.

the more common gun-related injuries are caused by drive-bys...and are inflicted a large portion of the time by semi-auto weapons. when will the NRA not have enough political power to keep semis on the market??????

The semi-automatic weapons used in most drive-by shootings were typically never purchased legally anyway. Even a complete ban on guns of any kind would not significantly reduce gun violence in America in the short term.
