You are correct; I express myself wrong. I point NRA cause I think they are the main obstacle to any change concerning the guns in the US. They are spreading the false idea of "Law-abiding citizen VS Criminals". It is a childish black or white vision.
I don't say that every gun owner is a murderer, but it is a potential one as it own a very easy to kill weapon.
When you are sad, angry, when you have been cheated by other, etc... In all those cases that can cause depression you become dangerous with a gun. Lets say you get drunk other that and voilà you are in the street with your gun.
Same thing with suicide, a bullet in the mouth is easy painless and fast. Other way to kill yourself gives you more chances your mind.
Real criminals exists in every countries. The police deals with it. Not the citizen. The result of that 'controlled gun' system is that those countries have much much less dead by gun.
Just look at this video of a bad day in the US.

In France if 1 person dies by gun, the speak of it in the national news.
I'm not sure if americans realise how shocking to the rest of the world this number of dead citizen is. You are uesed to it, you should not.
Of course we had some terrorist attacks in France, made by international terrorist groups. But we let the police and the army deal with it. They are not perfect but do a great job. Plus they only have to focus on those terrorist groups when it comes to mass murder.
Good luck and listen to the teens of the last shooting
