Shooting in California
So America doesn't have a gun problem, huh?

Another day - another massacre....

But the "rights" of gun nuts are protected so who could ask for more?

Can aspergers sufferers get guns in the US? The article says he purchased them legally which to me seems insane.

Apparently, as they can all get them regardless of their mental state, not.

England has a gun problem - its almost impossible to get one.

Or the wrong ones.

Quite frankly though, I don't think the issue is entirely due to the number of guns, as the figures don't mesh. For instance, New Zealand has a private gun ownership rate about a quarter than of the US, but the US has a deliberate gun homicide death 13 times that of ours.

Tentative Conclusion: USians like to shoot each other more than do Kiwis.

The good news is that if you get shot to death you won't die of cancer.

Might relate more closely to the proportion of handguns rather than rifles but I am not sure.

On the other hand if you are correct and USians just like to shoot each other - is a good idea to provide them with so many suitable tools for the job?

RE: Shooting in California
People have been trying to ban guns before the ink was dry on the Second Amendment. A large segment of the population would be very content to live in a rigid police state where they had no access to weapons and are searched every time they go out in public (Oh, that's the way it is now).
