Knowledge Issue - what role does emotion and reason play in the gun debate in the USA?

The statistics for gun deaths in various countries are posted on other posts on this blog. About 40 per year in the UK with 70 million people and about 10,000 in the USA with 350 million. Do the math! Yet here you can watch Mr Pratt defend the gun laws and call for more guns. He advocates that teachers should carry guns in school. Mr Crockett Keller, a gun shop owner in Texas has advocated that School Principals should have assault weapons in the office.
