that has been solved elsewhere.

The problem was never solved elsewhere. The problem never really existed elsewhere, at least not like this. America's gun problem is too broken to fully solve imo. Something should be done, but I don't know how you do anything without punishing law-abiding citizens.

I believe the right to bear arms was a fundamental error in the first place and despise the NRA, so I'm certainly not pro-guns. And I'm not ruling out the possibility of improvement, either, but I think the ease of change here is hugely overstated.

Well in the UK the current gun control laws were brought in as a direct response to the Dunblane massacre. And there hasn't been a school shooting there since. Same with Australia. It never got as out of control as it is in the US, but part of that is going to be because it wasn't allowed to get out of control.

For the record I don't think it'll be an easy change, but absolutely a doable one.

Edit: Also since XIII mentioned acid and knife attacks you better believe there was absolutely a quick legal response to those things.
