→Gun control debate vs. greater emphasis on changing violent thinking of society
:That is indeed interesting. One wonders if their television is as Godless as ours, as full of violence.

:: From what I've read of Switzerland, although they do have higher rates of gun ownership, there's also pretty strict controls on them. But I think that what is relevant here is that this entire issue is to do with a lot more than just guns and their availability, but includes society attitudes, media influences, general policing practices, and so much more.
