Yep, that's certainly part of the problem, yes.

BTW, it would be easy to enforce whatever gun control you want in the USA. 
Amend the constitution to overrule the second amendment. We have a legal 
process to do this. The problem with the people favoring gun control is that 
they *are* in enough of a minority that they can't get this to happen. Not 
unlike abortion, where no legislator is actually going to *vote* to outlaw 
it, but everyone wants the courts to decide their way.  The only reason 
people argue about the meaning of the second amendment and to whom it 
applies is because enough voters like it how it is that the legislature 
can't get rid of it.

You can go on speculating all you like. None of it actually means much until 
you show the extent to which anything like that actually happens.  You can 
speculate that if the US changed our gun laws, Norway would have less 
violent crime, and you can speculate that if the US bought fewer violent 
video games, then Norway would have less violent crime, and you'd have about 
equal amounts of support for either stance.
