What impact to guns have on our society, and how do we think our society can stop or lessen gun violience

Guns in the hands of thugs and criminals are the problem, not law abiding citizens who have a constitutional right to possess a gun, as well as the right to defend themselves. A bigger question, and one completely ignored, is the number of people convicted over and over again of DUI, yet they continue to drive and endanger innocent lives. The media would have you to believe that all guns need to be outlawed.
