Mass murder in the USA

I have been in correspondence with a number of people who support the right to bear arms.

They all hold to the view that it is the man, not the gun, that is responsible, and can see no benefit in tightening gun control.

Even when shown statistics that there are 3 deaths, where a firearm has been used, per 100,000 population in the US, and just 0.1 per 100,000 in the UK, they still cannot see that their country has a problem.


It would be a mistake to wait forpoliticians on the national level to solve this problem of mass shootings and the need for gun control. This is an issue that concerns every individual who cares about their fellow citizens and wants to see a reduction in gun violence. A national discussion is required to pressure politicians on the national, state, and local level to move toward seeing the extent of the problem of gun violence, and the need for serious steps to address the cycle of mass shootings. Otherwise the epidemic of mass killings will become worse and there will no nowhere safe from gun violence.
