Politicians around the word: we need to ban guns and assault rifles.
US policy makers: we need to tell the good guys they need to ~~buy~~ carry a gun.
Also US policy makers: We refuse to do anything about the low wages, crushing debt, inaccessible health care (physical and mental), and other problems I can't even think of right now.
Plenty of countries have lots of guns. Virtually none of them have any significant number of mass terror shootings, even the ones with otherwise high rates of gun violence.
America is built different.
The rethoric of the people in power seems different, but I don"t know enough of other countries with lots of guns.
