Although I agree that gun laws should be addressed, I feel that the debate, for the most part, is superficial. The U.S. is very different from any other country. These differences should also be discussed, along with the gun laws.
America is diversed. Race related problems can lead to violence.
Americans are addicted to prescription drugs. Some of these drugs are incredibly powerful. Many of these sociopaths were under the influence of these drugs.
American parents can be pretty awful. Why are you buying your fricked up children guns?
Income inequality is more of an issue in this country. Poor people commit crime.
Lots of factors to think about when it comes to violent crime. The gun issue is just one of those factors. It just happens to be the sexiest factor so it gets all the coverage.
This is what's funny to me. You listed several additional problems aside from gun regulation that you suggest are related to the remarkable amount of gun violence that exists in the U.S. Those are:
1) Race Relations
2) Prescription Drugs
3) Parenting
4) Income Inequality
OK. Well what do conservatives have to say a/b those issues?
1) Ha
2) Less gov't regulation, not more
3) Prob what they're best on from a rhetoric standpoint but they still want to cut social aid programs
4) Doesn't exist to them and if it does it's not an issue
It's a fundamentally unserious party w/ little interest in actual governance.

I'm conservative by nature, but not into the R's as they are today and not loyal to their party anymore. As a conservative, let me list you my 4 conservative answers to the 4 issues you listed...
1. race relations - personal accountability and self reliance
2. prescription drugs - political and pharmaceutical reforms and less gov't subsidizing
3. parenting - return to a nuclear family as much as possible and stop the glorification and rewarding of single parents and having children out of wedlock.
4. income inequality - will always be, because some work harder, some work smarter and some are lazier. You're only guaranteed the pursuit of happiness. Nobody is guaranteed to achieve it. That is on each individual.
