Remember we are talking about gun laws in general, not just the USA.
And remember this thread is not about how to solve gun crime it is about what gun laws should be. I agree that the fastest way to stop people doing something is to stop kids growing up into that sort of person but this is not really what this thread is about. You are telling us how a society can reduce crime in general while the Thread Starter didn't mention crime, although gun crime and gun accidents are the only reason that gun laws need to be in place.
So is your argument that if society was improved gun restrictions could be much more relaxed? because this sort of makes sense, and does show that gun laws should be based on the society they apply too rather than there being a universal set of laws which work for every nation. If so then this is a relevant argument but nevertheless, try to focus on specific gun law rather than just general societal problems and crime rates.
