Bowling for Columbine (I felt) did a great job in showing that the problem isn't that America has the most guns or the most historically violent people but rather that our news media desensitizes us to violence. Less guns won't curb gun deaths enough to even bother infringing on our second amendment rights, the only way to fix the problem is to eliminate the source (our forms of entertainment). Obviously there's way too much money involved for that to happen so we just need to accept, as a society, that this kind of thing is going to happen.
