I think people issue is the prevalence of guns as well as how easy it is for danger and/or mentally ill people can get them.
Most Americans are for background checks, that doesn't get put into law because the nra are a huge and powerful lobby.
I'm Canadian & despite what people think there are a lot of gun owners, we do hunt a lot, but you actually have to get a background check & mental fitness test before you can own a gun. Making it hard to get guns for people who shouldn't have them in the first place is common sense, & Canada's super low gun crimes are proof. Also look at how well gun control worked for Australia. Why Americans try to deny these facts makes no sense to me. Sorry for the long post.
