And why is the suggestion of reducing guns such a sore topic?

Do you even know what a mass shooting is? Do you know how often they occur? They only make headlines and pull politicians out of the woodwork when it is a shooting that they can use as political fodder.
More guns? Well many people have and rightfully so lost faith in governments at all levels to protect them from rising criminal activity. People have a right to defend themselves and if the legal
Purchase of a weapon for self/ family and home protection, is their solution, that might answer your question.
And where are you from, that you say “ our American friends”?
