State firearms laws are extremely unrestricted, even with federal guards, state police (and such) are not legally obliged to enforce such regulations. The federal government aren't too keen in getting involved in state matters to much aswell. People kill people, but the fact that Americans are allowed these tools with such ease inevitably entails dangerous possibilities. Look at the present case, circumstances may insofar arise in the most unexpected circumstances. The right to "bear arms" is just an exploited relic. As long as the certain members of the public see it as there right to carry a loaded firearm whenever and wherever they want, there will continue to be tragedies. So many films and programs glorify guns and gun culture it is inexorable that a few of these viewers could seek to follow the example of them. Their are many roots but being allowed to carry guns wouldn't help. Besides look at the statistics, USA gun crimes are through the roof the comparison to the UK for example, where any notion of carrying guns seems criminal and archaic. I'd hate to walk around the streets thinking that citizen's are carrying guns, trifling squabbles can escalate can become life or death mattes by the presence of a gun. Do you how worthless lives value were in the "wild-west"? Bounty hunters thrived, mortality rates were disgustingly high and life expectancy was ridiculously low.
