Australia virtually solved this gun massacre problem implementing real gun control. They are a brave people down under who took steps and confronted this social evil. Americans on the other hand are fearful of everything from skin color to religion and this fear sells guns and NRA memberships. Fear in America is institutional, look at what we spend on killing technology over all, to protect us from mostly imagined threats.  As long as America is a nation of cowards we will reap fear's reward.
