How? You must surely know of America's love affair with the firearm, how do you propose that they just take those guns away? People aren't going to give up their rights without a fight (a gunfight, at that) and even if you were somehow successful in removing guns from private citizens, you've still got thousands of illegal firearms out there.
If you really can't approach these issues without comparing them to another country, try Canada instead. Geographically close to the US, fairly similar culturally (broadly speaking), has an armed police service and allows at least some level of firearms ownership by citizens.
Saying "remove guns" is about as useful as saying "remove crime" or "remove homelessness".

If you're not going to take the discussion seriously then feel free to leave it to those of us who will.

There are countries with high gun ownership rates which don't have such high gun crime rates though. So it doesn't seem to me that gun ownership is the problem, but rather black urban culture, which accounts for the majority of those firearm related deaths.
Racist much ? What a disgusting opinion.

Total US casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan is about 6500-7000.
I'm interested how far back a 'few years' is to Mr Brand ? Is there no bandwagon he won't jump on ....
It's worth noting that over 30,000 Yanks managed to die in car accidents in the same year and no-one's called for private transport to be outlawed.
