Now is the time for more men and women like Ron Paul to get involved although yesterday would have been better!

I know, but something fundamentally may happen if that should be a realistic alternative or am I wrong?

My bolding. But in a culture where you can go into a store and buy a gun, can there be a correlation between the numbers of guns per inhabitant and the tendency to solve problems with guns? Go to the extreme opposite. Only police / security officers / hunters that are thoroughly tested are allowed to have guns. Do you see any possibility of less killing in the streets and in your society generally?
Not that our history is any better than yours. Did you know that (one of) Americas worst female serial killers through history was from Norway?
My advice to your next president: Make it more difficult to buy guns.
