Basically there are so many guns out there in the US (50-100 per household

K OK that's an exaggeration - but there are a hell of a lot of untraceable, legally owned firearms there. So if everyone was made to surrender their weapons then it just wouldn't happen for fear that Joe Bloggs down the road will keep his and everyone wants to be safe. It seems to me like a more provincial version of the Cold War with everyone slightly edgy about it but it seems like the only sensible thing to do is maintain the status-quo.
I don't believe it's better than the alternative we have over here though - which is "most people don't own guns and don't wish to"
I'm going to stop now ... we're going round in circles.
