"tough question" comes right from the marketing department of the right-wing gun lobby and the NRA as a tool to sell even more lethal weapons.

The really tough question is what can we do to significantly reduce 30,000 needless deaths, and over 100,000 injuries a year from gun violence. A number which is by far many orders of magnitude above the rest of the "civilized" world, and an embarrassment to a majority of Americans who do NOT own or worship guns.
