A gunman who shot and killed a school bus driver before taking a five-year-old boy hostage on Tuesday remains holed up in a bunker at his home in Alabama.
The suspect has been named locally as 65-year-old lorry driver Jimmy Lee Dykes. Local people described him as a survivalist, who hates the government and the authorities.
He had been scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday morning to answer charges he shot at his neighbours last month in a dispute over a speed bump.

guns dont kill people. people with guns kill people

When a B&E criminal has the gun, that gun is now in your home.  Therefore the cartoon is very correct, just fails to mention that the gun was brought into the home illegally and by someone other than the homeowner.

And here is another US Gun Outrage.  From not only the Presidents home state, but under the Mayor who was Obama's Chief of Staff.   Chicago has some of the strictist Gun Control laws in the US:

Chicago girl who was in Washington during Obama inauguration is shot dead

The girl, whom local reports identified as Hadiya Pendleton, died when a gunman opened fire on her and about a dozen other teenagers while they were hanging out at a park in Chicago, according to Chicago Police officer Jose Estrada. An honors student, according to family members, rthe sophomore had finished exams at Dr. Martin Luther King College Prep and went to the nearby park.


What is notworthy of this incident is that it is being reported.  The 40+ that have been killed this year (and the 500+ last year) do not make for good reporting as the gun control advocates are in control in Chicago and  have been for years.  These is an example of what to expect if they get they way at the national level.

I believe it to me more of social and responsibility issues brought about by the welfare state.  Liberals (Democrats) are all about "caring" for the poor, helping unwed moms, etc.  The side effect is that it pays people not to form a family unit and a great portion of welfare families are single parent (usually mom) where the children grow up without a father. And the "father" feels no need to take care of the family because all those rich people that caused the economic proplems are being made to pay to the support his children (which is liberal fairness). 

Chicago has been the Daley machine since the 50's, and it continues, same with Detroit and other major cities. 
 
So I would work at fixing gun violence by revamping the welfare state and stopping the GVT from economically encouraging unwed babies. 
 
It is interesting to note the overlap between where there is the most gun violence and who votes Democrat:
