Members of gun clubs here have visits from the police to confirm they are of sound minds..a register is kept.Farmers have a license to shoot vermin...foxes.They are visited also.Guns must be locked safely in a cabinet.Police do not carry guns..only in certain situations are a squad called in.Terrorism for example or hostage situations
Still tragedy happens.But when we had a school shooting the nation examined policies.The vast size of a nation (U S )with great diversity is one factor as is it pioneer spirit,however can change not be sought.if you are against big business then Government will have areas of voters and support but in my mind people matter most..especially children who are gathered in a school
