Gun control worked in Canada. The mean-per-capita population density in Canada is similar to the US. Compare Seattle and Vancouver - similar populations, density, economics, racial breakdown, climate, etc. Even crime rates are about the same. But in Seattle more people (criminals and victims both) die because guns are more commonly involved in that crime.
Anyway, blah blah blah. Like any good issue, gun control has strong arguments on both sides. I'm a non-gun-owning Texan and am in favor of stronger gun control in the states. I don't have a problem with not being allowed to own a gun because (1) I don't need it to defend against indians and bears, (2) if someone breaks into my home to steal my TV, I don't think I have the moral right to kill them and (3) I'm not a member of a well-regulated militia.
Oh, and I drive like a maniac, so I'd rather some pissed-off redneck not shoot at me when I cut them off.
