Went to stay with friends in Florida and both of them had semi automatic pistols which they kept at home (just in case) They said you would never get into a an altercation with another motorist if they cut you up or did something to upset you because they might be "packing" That's how it is there. I went to a gun range and had a shooting session with the semi automatic. I quite enjoyed it actually and had a bit of a knack for it. The range had a huge gun shop attached to it where you could buy every kind of gun you could think of. They even had trial ones where you pull the trigger to get a feel of it. Scary really.
Stricter controls and changes to gun ownership in the US are highly unlikely ever to happen. Well, certainly in my lifetime.
Everytime it comes up for discussion in the Senate, proposals put forward by the Democrats are thwarted by the Republicans.
The cloture motion (a motion to end debate on a bill), requires 60 votes overall. In the event a 'supermajority' cannot be reached, the bill cannot be closed and voting in the Senate is unable to proceed. The measure is then said to have been filibustered.
With 49 Republicans supporting gun ownership, how on earth is the upper chamber of congress ever going to effect change?

Hang on, this is California where they do actually have some of the most restrictive rules in the USA.
As I have said before, the problem is a social one, take away the guns and something else will be used. People running down cars here in the UK strike and chords?
And, I have still not seen anyone tell me how they would propose getting rid of 400 million guns from the USA. Especially from the criminals, nor has anyone addressed the issue of people who do not have any law enforcement on hand. And that is a fair bit of the USA outside the cities.
