Typical - an article about the violent gun toting U.S. society brings out those who want to argue that attention should be focused on abortion.  As if, making abortion illegal is going to make all the gun violence go away.   

Both guns and abortions are problems.   Each problem deserves attention.  Ignoring either one simply leaves that ignored problem on the table.  Thing is, abortion has gone down and even has a responsible answer - wide availability of affordable, effective birth control.  What we need to promote is an attitude that pregnancy should be planned, not an accidental consequence of sex.  

Guns don't have such an easy answer.
