......... The GUN is the obvious factor for the US being # 1.

Jim, we are not talking about murderous zombies. We are talking about American citizens who, in the past 20 years, have gone on heinous shooting sprees targeting defenseless victims. The select gun free zones for maximum carnage. There is a very serious fault in their brain, not their trigger finger. It is very short sighted to think a cookie cutter approach will be effective, at any cost. That is your solution, at any cost restrict the Rights of hundreds of millions of people because of the actions of dozens. The leap you have to make to justify that is just bizarre.
I have a better solution. Since the problem is clearly a male problem how about if we just make it illegal for men to have guns. Women committing these heinous crimes are so rare it's safe to say the nation would be much safer if only women had access to guns.
