I just read that part of the article. There seem to be a lot of conflicting voices. One side says that the laws had some effect, while others say they really had no effect on the weapons black market, and firearm suicide.

Hmm. As always, more studies are needed. That's the way of the world, isn't it?

To be honest I think education like in most other circumstances would probably be the best solution. Too many people that I know treat guns like they are just some toy.

I think you need to avoid those friends when they're around guns then. ;)

Oh I do. They have invited me to go shooting with them, and I fervently decline.

"Hey War, we're all gonna get totally smashed and fire off a few rounds of this here shotgun into the side of this here concrete wall. Wanna join? What? What do you mean you got better things to do? C'mon! We've got Busch Lite brother!"
