She went on to offer a rather bizarre list of 13 countries where she claims gun control backfired (pun intended). I suggest her scholarship be expanded a bit to include countries such as Japan, a nation of 130 million, which had only seven gun murders in 2011.
Compare that with the U.S., with a population of 311 million, that had 8,583 murders. (It gets worse when you compare accidental injuries and deaths).
I suggest a compromise solution: Embrace the beloved Second Amendment, but restrict it to the weapon available to the public when it was enacted, to-wit: a musket.
All other weapons should be banned or controlled, as they do in Japan.
