There's a reason why cities are all dramatically in favor of gun control (see Bloomberg in NY, Menino in Boston, and same in Chicago, DC).

It's because cities see people -- including kids -- getting killed regularly with guns.

The gun control issue in America is fundamentally a city vs suburb/rural issue. Look, I grew up in a rural place where hunting was big. I learned to shoot and enjoyed shooting a rifle as a kid. I realize people enjoy shooting and I want to let them continue. But I also realize that Americans who don't live in cities don't know how many other Americans are killed by guns in cities.

Thus the compromise solution: allow rifles, ban handguns.

(This is very much like the Canadian solution, as discussed -- handguns are heavily restricted but many Canadians own rifles. That's why Canada has so many guns and so few gun killings.)
