As a gun owner (many), the first one I would restrict is the unlimited application of the 2nd Amendment as promoted by the NRA. That would at least be a start to the USA becoming less dangerous, and resemble places like Germany, Canada, Britain, France and other western democracies.
The US has different demographics than Germany, Canada, and France which is the biggest difference in the violent crime rates....if the US became a lily white country like those mentioned, the violent crime rate would go way down.

The Nazis controlled speech and now the current government is controlling speech...no difference.

The claim is that those European countries have been taken over by muslims.

But knowledgeable people know that isn't true...however, the increased immigrants are making Germany less safe.

Hmmmmm. I didn't realize guns could kill on their own. Is this a new model with Artificial Intelligence that can jump up and shoot someone all by itself?

So you've turned a free speech debate into a call for more gun control in the U.S.? How quaint.
No, we have gun free zones all over the U.S., and people still kill each other with guns in them. Especially inner city Blacks in gangs, and the drug trade. Fix that, and most of the humans killing each other goes away.

Yes Trump is progressing quite nicely in that area.

Canada lily white? Guess you have not been in Vancouver (Asian) or Toronto (Punjabi/Jamaican/Haitian) lately, have you? Calgary has a Muslim Arab mayor, who is popular and handily won reelection. Edmonton and Calgary have large Asian, Sikh and Middle East populations. Edmonton, Regina and Winnipeg have large, very large, North American Native populations.

You need to reassess your response.

I stand by my assertion that the USA is a violent nation when compared to other civilized, western democracies. And you know that is a fact.
