Other countries don't have America's gun problem.
Here, we take a look at the data that shows why America is so unlike the rest of the world when it comes to the popularity and the abuse of guns. We'll look at the role that policymakers play in the gun-control debate, and we'll look at what can be done (if anything).
It isn't pretty, but it's important. Hundreds of thousands of American lives hang in the balance.

Ham?
What about knives? What about all the 3rd world hell holes in which women and children cannot defend themselves from predators, both inside and outside of government. Lieberals always lie.
Most Americans don’t have a problem with guns,
it’s liberals that have a gun problem,
America has a CRIME problem.
[[Other countries don’t have America’s gun problem.]]
Um yeah they do
there seems ot be a rash of gun control threads and news reports lately- it’s pretty apparent that this is the next thing the left and the supreme court are going to force on us
If I did answer telephone polls, guns? There was that big hurricane a couple of years ago, and, well....
The United States does not have a "gun problem". It has a free-range crazy people problem, and it has a violent criminal problem.
I do think that if NICS background checks are at record highs, it's wishful thinking to believe that fewer households have guns than did 40 years ago.
When you factor out black on black murders it goes down by almost half.
Wow the article mixes blatant lies, distortions and false correlations to sell the scumbag who wrote its anti-gun point of view. I’m reminded of “Globull warming” Start with the conclusion and pick facts (if any) to fit and add lies and distortions to make your case.
Matthew Speiser: I was out yesterday and spoke with ‘everyone’ - they think you’re a foolish liberal who can’t tell the difference between ideas that are ‘fashion’ and ideas that have substance.
Why help BI get rich? It’s the business mouthpiece of the Left.
“Hundreds of thousands of American lives hang in the balance.”
Stopped reading right there.
And if you do that the US has a similar homicide rate to Norway. I think it's safe to say that Norwegian-Americans kill each other at about the same rate as Norwegian-Norwegians. (Some states -- states with high ownership of guns, but few blacks, have murder rates about the same as the UK and Germany. Other jurisdictions, like DC, with many blacks but few guns, have sky-high homicide rates.)
The author should tell if he's ever been to Mexico. (If so, did he wear diapers?)
Hmmmm. Scotus rules that the 14th applies to perceived rights but not to actual non-infringible rights? Sounds right. At least if it were to ever come to them making a call on it. But they’d probably turn down any case brought before them unless it will clearly undermine the 2nd.
Lucky thing for us that we’re smarter than the average “reporter”. Which doesn’t really say much does it. LOL!
America doesn’t have a gun problem. Control freak tyrants from the commie, lib progessive side do!
A lie
Get rid of Gun Free Zones would be a start to protect the unprotected.
The really sad thing is that the average voter is a lot DUMBER than the average reporter. (Explains why 0 was elected)
But of course! With bacon and fried SPAM for good measure.
