Sorry, RobH2. That might be a Utopian explanation for the causes of gun crime, and one which ultimately we all know will never rein in the problem. However, looking into the USA from outside its borders, I think that the problem could be moderated by:

1. Outlawing the NRA as a terrorist organisation
2. Amending you Constitution to remove the section about the Right to bear arms.
3. Banning the use of firearms in TV and movies.
4. Convincing Hollywood that motion picture stories which rely solely on violence run close to being pornographic.

I'm not trying to flame my many American friends, but a good friend has the duty to try to prevent a friend from doing anything harmful.
