> I agree that the rate of gun death in the US is shocking but coercing the large numbers who want to own guns doesn't seem a good way forward. Stable countries are built on consensus. Maybe they should give tax breaks or some other rewards to areas that vote to be gun free.

Start taxing them more :o) That usually works here...
