Is there ANY sane and civil right-winger/republican/gun-lover out there who can intelligently address that question?
Americans own 42 percent of the world’s 650 million civilian firearms
Las Vegas (59), Orlando (49), Virginia Tech (32), Newtown (26) — the number of people killed in mass shootings in the United States is growing.
The U.S. has more gun deaths per capita than any of the world’s two dozen highest-income countries, according to research by David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. Using mortality data from the World Health Organization, Hemenway found that firearms-related homicide deaths were 25 times higher in the U.S. than in other high income countries such as Austria, France and Finland. For those aged 15-24, the gun homicide rate in the U.S. was 49 times higher. Approximately 300 Americans are shot every day in the U.S. and 100 die from gunshot wounds in murders, attempted suicides or accidents, according to Hemenway.

The correlation is simple, rocket science intelligence not required.
