i can appreciate what you are saying about the need to explore the trends in culture & various societies that contribute to increased violence.   When you move to that level of this discussion, however, we move toward abstract realms and farther away from concrete decisions.  Still, i'm all for understanding the broad context of a problem.

For my part, i would say that population density is probably contributing to the up-tick in global violence, along with the de-humanizing effects of media, and a growing sense of that each of us is disconnected from ( and suspicious of) people who don’t see things the same way we do.

But that’s just my POV on a really large & complicated problem.

i would add another category of politicians who are (or would be) concerned about gun violence though:   Gabby Giffords, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, George Wallace, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Jim Brady.   interesting to note that they pretty well represent the whole political spectrum.

Are there any limits on guns that seem reasonable to you?
