Eugenio - glad to hear your wife is OK.
Guns are a problem, but only because it is too easy and cheap for the wrong persons to get ahold of them. I grew up with guns, and I never killed anyone.
The real problem is the lack of respect for human life. These low life thugs think that if someone "disses" them, that gives them a right to shoot them. Or a robber figures that dead people can't testify against me, so they shoot a clerk or bank teller.
You can debate culture or socio-economics all you want - but the bottom line is that the gun is not the killer, the person pulling the trigger is.
