Thanks. The news doesn't often give answers like this one. In discussions on TV all to often the views are polarised and only the extreme points are considered news worthy.
I guess it doesn't make good headlines to say "most Americans aren't bothered by guns in their everyday lives, grocery shopping continues as normal".
You only get the Charlton Hestons or the school massacres making the news.
That's correct. Defensive use of firearms is hardly EVER reported.
Polls show Americans do not want more gun regulations.
