Unfortunately it wouldn't make a difference, there is nothing one single person/body can do to fix the problem in America.
Guns aren't the problem, in Canada there are still millions of guns and the murder rates are no where near as high as the U.S.
In Britain we have strict gun control, but thousands of guns are found in inner-city ghettos, places like Birmingham, London, Manchester, gun crime in the UK is limited to cities where there is a gang culture brought on by:
- Absent or poor parenting
- Poor education
- Unemployment
- High levels of drug addiction.
Gun control won't help the U.S, only U.S citizens can help the U.S.
Western society, the U.S in particular is built on an aggressive form of capitalism, this results in wealth inequality and exploitation of the work force, thus leading to disillusionment of the government.
The population don't respect the police because it is plagued with corruption and brutality. For that they have nobody to blame but themselves.
Just as nobody can fix America, nobody can take responsibility, the entire culture, economic and political system along with the entire population is to blame.
Good luck, America.
Probably the best post I've seen on the subject
