I think that I read somewhere that in the U.S. gun based homicides sits at 3.8 per 100,000 population. In Canada its .5 and the UK its .1. That alone is a stunning stat.

Thats 11,844 people in the U.S. killed per year by firearms. That alone has to speak to some sort or availability problem.

What the States is currently doing in terms of gun violence, in terms of the mental health issue its going to be the sexy topic right now because most of these mass murderers are classified as ill, though not all of them are.

But there's a ton of smaller crimes that don't get attention where the killer is not mentally ill and still uses a gun.

To be clear the old saying that guns don't kill people, people kill people is stupid. A gun is an enabling tool to do it quickly in the heat of the moment. The easy access to the tool to conform to a archaic constitutional right to protect against a corrupt government is coming to the point of stupid. Sometimes in rare instances public safety and societal requirements over come some civil liberties.
