Criminals do not follow the law.
That's the whole point... the regulations are in place for the law abiding citizens who don't need the regulations. Criminals or the mentally unstable aren't going to abide by the laws and regulations.

Criminals do not follow the law.
But given that we have settled our gun regulation differences, why do you think that the U.S. seems to be turning oit so many mass murderers?
Regarding music, we can not deny that music is exceptionally motivating and mood altering. That said, I think that music presents a chicken and the egg type argument. Isn't music merely expressive of beliefs and emotions already possessed. And doesn't listening to music play feelings already possessed?2 reasons maybe:
- Bad music ie: (pumped up kicks, The Toadies Possom Kingdom, death metal, gangster rap, etc.)
- Media -highlighting continued coverage for maximum profits.
We register our car with the Licencing Authority, the DVLA, so yes, that covers 'purchase, own or possess' - in fact when you sell a car you have to submit a declaration to the DVLA too.To purchase, own, or possess a car? Or are we talking about regulation of public use?

No, it is the tunnel vision that this is the only or main reason.So suggesting that violence has a psychological/sociological aspect makes me blind? Don't you think "we have too many stabbings because we have too many sharp, pointy objects." is perhaps a bit short sighted?
Concerning media. It is curious to me our relationship with Media. We have embraced and become addicted to this so fully that I cannot help but think of the Chinese Opiate dens. Only instead of opiates we have chosen a meth of sorts.2 reasons maybe:

The US has the highest rate of deaths by fire arms, the US has one of the loosest laws on possession. Yet the gun lobby focus is on mental health, social issues.
The UK has just as many mental problems/ psychological/sociological aspects in our population.

This is only because the car is assumed to be purchased with intent to drive and business practice dictates such as we have established title as means of establishing ownership. You can build a car from scratch and there is no penalty for not registering it unless you drive it in public. That is to say, it is not illegal to purchase, own, or operate on vehicles on private land if those vehicles are not registered.We register our car with the Licencing Authority, the DVLA, so yes, that covers 'purchase, own or possess' - in fact when you sell a car you have to submit a declaration to the DVLA too.
Certainly music inspires. But does it inspire feelings that are not already there to some degree. Can strange fruit inspire feelings when one does not already possess those feelings, could Abel Meeropol have written that poem without those feelings?No. Musical lyrics inspire. Even subconsciously. It's undeniable.

Without going into details, gun control here isn't that much different than in the shootings heydays. The exception is that if you want a handgun you need to have active membership in a shooting range for 2 years and be over 20. Mental health on the other hand is taken more seriously now and talked about in public.Is it possible, has there been any study to see which reduced the shootings in Finland, tighter regulation on guns, or addressing mental health that may previously have gone untreated? That's the thing... does one mask the other? Correlation does not imply causation.
only a couple more ?!? Really?When I see that i think wow, only a couple more per 100k than places that have virtually outlawed guns, and that includes any gun deaths and only gun deaths.

I understand some people are taken aback by objectivity and rationality in the face of emotional discord.only a couple more ?!? Really?
Gotta love the way you think. At a glance it is over 6 times the average of other Countries.
