Cherry Picking Stats

Your choice of words belies your intent. Stating that the US has a huge gun crime rate and then linking to a an out of date Gun crime report is deceptive at best.

The gun crime rate in the link you provided comes out to 2.3 per 100,000 people(that includes administrative crimes not just violent). Browsing the FBI stats for other crimes during the same period yields:
150.2 Robberies per 100,000
336.1 Aggravated Assaults per 100,000
32.7 Forcible rapes per 100,000

So gun crime is NOT "huge" in the US as you stated. There are more pressing problems and one of the best courses of action is to enforce existing laws with almost no plea bargaining and forcing people to take responsibility for their actions.
